summary

This amendment requires that one employee from each company at a work site must have successfully completed a course in construction safety no shorter than 10 hours that meets the guidelines approved by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The amendment also clarifies that a temporary employee is considered an employee for purposes of the required training course. The amendment adds a provision that allows contractors and subcontractors 30 days to submit evidence that training has been completed. The amendment also removes as a penalty the authority of the Director of Labor Standards to remove from the worksite any contractor or subcontractor who knowingly violates the training requirement and replaces it with language allowing the Director of Labor Standards to assess a penalty of not more than $1,000 per day against any contractor or subcontractor who knowingly violates the training requirement.
