H 4448 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act requiring OSHA training

H 4448 requires construction employers (with OSHA oversight) to provide 10 hours of OSHA training to employees and verify independent contractors have completed approved training. Employers without required training face escalating fines ($1,500 to $5,000 per violation) and $25,000 fines if a death results from non-compliance after an investigation. The law mandates public reporting of violations and requires the board to list approved training providers and establish renewal rules. It exempts routine homeowner home maintenance and small projects under $25,000.
