The purpose of this rulemaking is to propose amendments to Chapter 296-155 WAC, Safety Standards for Construction Work, to implement the requirements of Engrossed House Bill (EHB) 2266 (Chapter 258, Laws of 2024), codified under RCW 49.17.530, which became effective June 6, 2024. The proposed amendments implement the requirements set forth in RCW 49.17.530, which requires employers in the construction industry to provide workers performing construction activities and who menstruate or express milk the following: (1) Access to an adequate portable toilet or restrooms, accessible on the worksite, or access to a permanent structure with a restroom/bathroom; (2) Adequate and convenient supply of menstrual hygiene products at no cost to employees; and (3) Reasonable accommodations to express milk after the child’s birth each time such employee has need to express.
