The proposed bill amends Title 71 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new chapter, CHAPTER 34, which focuses on public worker safety and protection. This chapter outlines various provisions aimed at enhancing the safety of outdoor public workers, including definitions of key terms such as "employer," "outdoor public worker," and "violence." It mandates that employers develop and implement workplace violence prevention policies tailored to the specific risks faced by outdoor public workers, conduct regular risk assessments, and provide mandatory training on violence prevention. Additionally, the bill establishes requirements for incident reporting, worker support, data collection, and oversight by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

The bill also includes enforcement mechanisms, stipulating that employers who fail to comply with the outlined requirements may face administrative fines and must submit corrective action plans. It protects employees from retaliation for reporting incidents or participating in training, ensuring they have recourse under state labor and employment protections. The act is set to take effect 180 days after its passage.
