Chai Suthammanont Healthy Federal Workplaces Act of 2024
This bill requires federal agencies to create and publish detailed safety plans for employees and contractors working at physical worksites during nationwide public health emergencies (like pandemics). Agencies must develop these plans within 60 days of enactment, including protocols for personal protective equipment, testing, cleaning, occupancy limits, telework options for high-risk individuals, and communication methods. The plans must be posted on agency websites and the Office of Management and Budget’s site, with agencies also reporting implementation to Congress via Inspector General reviews. It directly affects all federal employees, contractors, and subcontractors physically present at agency worksites during a declared public health emergency.
