Subject: Imposing Excessive New Workplace Regulations via the "Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act"
Description: The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act, sponsored by Rep. Courtney (D-CT), directs bureaucrats within OSHA to impose new mandates on employers within the health care and social services industries concerning workplace violence prevention. Under the bill, employers will be forced to provide annual training and education to employees, maintain detailed records of workplace violence risk and incidents, and submit annual reports to the government. ACU recognizes businesses are incentivized to maintain safe and productive work environments to retain top talent and profit, and opposes empowering unaccountable bureaucrats to saddle businesses with costly unnecessary regulations.
