Enhanced Safety and Health Protection for Public Service Workers
This act extends workplace safety and health protections to public sector employees, including federal, state, and local workers. This means public employers will need to meet the same safety standards as private ones, potentially improving working conditions for millions.
Key points
Federal, state, and local government employees gain the same rights to safe working conditions as private sector workers.
New rules take effect 90 days after enactment for most employers, with a 36-month delay for some states and local governments without their own safety plans.
