Enhanced Workplace Safety Protection for Public Service Workers
This act extends workplace safety and health regulations to public sector employees, including federal, state, and local workers. This means public administration workplaces will need to meet the same safety standards as private companies, potentially improving working conditions for many.
Key points
Federal, state, and local government employees will gain the same rights to safe working conditions as private sector workers.
New rules will take effect 90 days after enactment for most workplaces, and after 36 months for certain states and local governments without their own safety plans.
