Summary
The Protecting America’s Workers Act would broaden the Occupational Safety and Health Act to cover more public employees, authorized employee representatives and volunteer emergency responders, while giving workers stronger protection from retaliation for reporting hazards. It also tightens reporting rules, gives victims and families new rights, and increases civil and criminal penalties, adjusted for inflation. The changes aim to improve workplace safety and enforcement.
