§ 34:6a-26.
The Legislature finds that the safety and health of public employees in the workplace
is of primary public concern. Personal injuries and illnesses arising out of work situations result not only in
wage loss and increased medical expenses for employees, but also in decreased productivity
and increased workers' compensation expenses for employers. The Legislature therefore declares: a. that it is the policy of this State to ensure
that all public employees be provided with safe and healthful work environments free
from recognized hazards, b. that it is the responsibility of the State to promulgate
standards for the protection of the health and safety of its public workforce, and
c. that it is in the public interest for public employers and public employees to
join in a cooperative effort to enforce these standards.
