Overview: H 2075 is a bill that would require Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training for certain workers in the state.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to improve workplace safety and reduce the number of workplace injuries and fatalities by mandating OSHA training for employees in high-risk industries.
Key Provisions:
- Requires all employees in construction, manufacturing, and other designated high-risk industries to complete OSHA 10-hour or 30-hour training courses, depending on their job responsibilities
- Establishes a grace period for employers to ensure their workforce is properly trained
- Empowers the state's Department of Labor to enforce the training requirements and levy fines for non-compliance
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Employers in construction, manufacturing, and other high-risk industries would be required to provide OSHA training for their employees
- Employees in these industries would be required to complete the mandated training courses
- The state's Department of Labor would be responsible for overseeing and enforcing the training requirements
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill was accompanied by a new draft, H4448, which is currently under consideration by the state legislature
- If passed, the OSHA training requirements would go into effect 6 months after the bill's enactment to allow employers time to comply
