Retail workers in Pennsylvania face daily risks of violence, harassment, and theft — yet no statewide law guarantees their safety on the job. The Retail Worker Safety & Preparedness Act fills this critical gap by requiring medium and large retailers to implement safety plans, provide annual training, and equip frontline staff with emergency communication tools.

Modeled on New York’s landmark law and tailored for Pennsylvania’s workforce, this commonsense legislation supports both workers and businesses by preventing incidents before they happen — without overburdening small employers.

By co-sponsoring this bill, you’ll stand with thousands of essential workers who serve our communities and deserve to feel safe while doing it.
