About this statute

This provision sets notice and reporting rules for employers, including notices to the Chief Safety Officer for new operations, higher-risk work sites, and serious injury accidents. This part requires employers and some other workplace actors to report hazards and injuries, protect workers through safety measures and training, restrict certain high-risk work, and keep some medical information confidential. This provision requires employers to create and maintain workplace safety policies and measures, including violence and impairment policies, committee/representative arrangements, and first aid provisions. Employers must provide and maintain first aid equipment, trained attendants, first aid stations or rooms in some cases, transportation for injured workers, and basic workplace sanitation and ventilation measures. Employers must provide several workplace safety measures, including sanitation, drinking water, smoking controls, safe handling aids, ergonomic protections, exposure control plans, and personal protective equipment.
