Bill Summary
To further define standards of employee safety
AI Summary
This bill aims to further define standards of employee safety in Massachusetts. It amends the state's existing laws by expanding the membership of an advisory board that oversees workplace safety regulations. Additionally, the bill requires the state's labor department to adopt regulations that provide at least the same level of protection to employees as the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), including the general duty clause requiring employers to provide a safe workplace. The bill also allows the state attorney general to bring civil actions to enforce these new safety standards.
