Workplace Safety a Focus of Congressional Committees Next Week

Next week, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee and the House Education and Labor Committee will hold hearings on workplace safety.  The HELP Committee is focusing particularly on mine safety in response to the recent accident in West Virginia.  The House will focus on the portions of the Protecting America's Workers Act that cover whistleblower and victims' rights provisions.  AGC is closely watching these issues and the impact the passage of any legislation will have on the construction industry.
