S 518 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Correctional Facilities Occupational Safety and Health Act of 2023

This bill extends workplace safety protections under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act to incarcerated workers in correctional facilities, including those participating in prison work programs, maintenance, or state industries. It requires states and federal prisons to submit annual reports on safety conditions, injuries, and compliance with safety standards. The bill also allocates $20 million annually for fiscal years 2024-2029 to provide grants helping states update laws and enforce these protections. These changes directly affect incarcerated workers by ensuring they receive the same safety reporting and enforcement mechanisms as other employees.
