Bill > H4811

This bill aims to enhance workplace safety by requiring contractors and subcontractors participating in government procurement contracts over $50,000 to disclose any past Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citations, notices, decisions, or civil judgments against them within the preceding 4-year period. The bill also empowers procurement officers to consider this information when determining the responsibility of a contractor or subcontractor. Additionally, the bill requires applicants for trench excavation permits to disclose any past OSHA violations, permit suspensions or revocations, fines, and immediate site shutdowns, allowing authorities to make more informed decisions about granting permits.
