An Act establishing responsible employer duty to the overall safety at the job site

This bill designates the construction supervisor who signs a building permit as the "controlling contractor," making them personally responsible for ensuring overall safety at the job site. Under this new rule, the controlling contractor must guarantee that all work follows local, state, federal laws, and industry safety standards. Additionally, the bill imposes personal liability on anyone performing construction work without a required permit for any injuries or damages that occur at the site, though it exempts residential homeowners from this penalty.
