Operative words
9. Every employer shall: a. Provide each of his employees with employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards which may cause serious injury, physical harm or death to his employees; and b. Comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this act.
Penalty
Orders to comply and penalties under N.J.S.A. 34:6A-41 (Commissioner of Labor, with Department of Health certification of health violations)
What it required
Every public employer had to provide employment and a place of employment free from recognized hazards and to comply with PEOSH standards (N.J.A.C. 12:100), enforced by orders to comply and penalties (34:6A-41); EO 192 para. 5 directed complaints from PEOSH-covered employees to PEOSH.
Retrieval noteMirror of codified text with history line; the live page carries identical text (section last amended 1995). Saved because it is the State's own OSHA-plan statement of the general duty and because EO 192 para. 5 routes public-sector complaints to PEOSH.
