Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SB 1254
Overview
Makes various revisions to statutes governing the Industrial Commission of Arizona regulations.
History
The Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) is responsible for enforcing labor laws, ensuring workplace safety and administering worker's compensation in Arizona. Additionally, the ICA has the power to conduct workplace investigations, collect labor statistics and protect the financial privacy of self-insured entities. The ICA is also authorized to license and supervise the work of private employment offices, bring together employers seeking employees and working people seeking employment and make known the opportunities for employment in the state (A.R.S. § 23-107).
The Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) is established within the ICA and, on behalf of the ICA: 1) recommends all standards, rules or changes to the standards or rules to the ICA; 2) has the authority to enforce all ICA-adopted standards or rules; 3) implements an occupational safety and health program that includes outlined duties and responsibilities, such as providing consultation training services to employers and employees and conducts inspections of workplaces; and 4) administers the requirements for safety conditions for boilers and safety conditions for elevators and conveyances. The ICA appoints a director as the administrative head of the ADOSH under the control of the ICA (Title 23, Chapter 2, A.R.S.).
