Revises provisions relating to occupational safety and health
SB 288
Sponsored by: Senator Maggie Carlton
BILL STATUS: Approved by the Governor, Chapter 216. Effective Oct. 1, 2009

Across the state, citizens are becoming highly concerned that Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has not been effectively enforcing state workplace safety laws. That is why Sen. Maggie Carlton introduced Senate Bill 288. This legislation would remove OSHA from the Department of Business and Industry and make the Board responsible for the enforcement of work safety and health laws. The bill would also require employees and contractors to complete occupational safety and health training.
