Correctional Facilities Occupational Safety and Health Act of 2023
This bill extends workplace safety protections under the Occupational Safety and Health Act to people working in correctional facilities, including those in prison labor programs, work release, and maintenance roles. It requires states and federal prisons to annually report on safety conditions, injuries, and compliance with safety standards, beginning two years after enactment. The bill also creates $20 million annually in federal grants to help states update their safety laws and enforcement for incarcerated workers. These provisions directly affect incarcerated individuals performing labor in state or federal correctional facilities and the agencies operating them.
