The Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is conducting rulemaking to align chapter 296-155 WAC, Safety standards for construction work, Part B-1, Occupational Health and Environmental Control, with the requirements of recent legislation (RCW 49.17.530), which became effective June 6, 2024. The new state law updates the requirements for employers in the construction industry to address sanitary conditions for workers who menstruate or express milk and who perform construction activities.

Please see the Sanitary Conditions for Construction Workers Rulemaking Activity Information Page for more information regarding this rulemaking.
