The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement Second Substitute House Bill 1524 (Chapter 47, Laws of 2025) related to isolated employee protections. Currently, Chapter 49.60 RCW requires employers in the janitorial, hospitality, retail, and security industries take certain precautions to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault of isolated employees. Isolated employees are those working as a janitor, security guard, hotel or motel housekeeper or room service attendant and spends a majority of their working hours alone without another coworker present. 2SHB 1524 amends Chapter 49.60 RCW to add additional protections for isolated employees and provides for L&I enforcement of the requirements. 2SHB 1524 becomes effective January 1, 2026.
