What it does
The Safe Workplaces Act would direct the Secretary of Labor to issue nonmandatory guidance through OSHA to help workplaces reduce the threat of violence, based on a study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The bill affects a wide range of workplaces, including grocery stores, hospitals, schools, and offices, requiring the guidance to be tailored to each type’s unique risks. It mandates that the guidance consider engineering controls, work practice controls, dangerous weapons, and environmental risk factors, with a report due within 15 months and final guidance issued within four years of enactment.
