SC 544 Mississippi Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Opposing proposed changes to OSHA Worker Representative Designation Process.

This legislative bill is a concurrent resolution that formally opposes a proposed federal rule change allowing non-employees to serve as representatives during OSHA workplace safety inspections. The bill argues that the current regulation correctly restricts these representatives to actual employees or specific experts like safety engineers, while the new proposal would permit any third party to accompany inspectors. By condemning the Department of Labor's plan, the resolution aims to protect private property rights and prevent government officials from granting access to unqualified individuals on business premises. Ultimately, the document serves as an official statement of the Mississippi Legislature's stance against the federal amendment rather than creating new laws or policies.
