Potential impacts and considerations

- Regulation of “all” worksites implies a broad reach that might increase compliance costs for employers and require robust enforcement resources.
- Benefits could include clearer requirements and reduced risk of injuries, while costs and administrative burden would be considerations for business stakeholders.
