What is MCA 39-71-502 Purpose
Montana Safety Culture Act: Promoting Safer Workplaces Through Education and Awareness
The purpose of this part is to reduce the incidence of occupational injury and illness by promoting safety in the workplace in order to control the costs of claims for workers’ compensation insurance. The creation of a safety culture requires employers to provide training and education to make safety awareness part of the requirement for each
worker’s satisfactory job performance and requires the department to promote safety awareness for the public through education and preparation of each student for entrance into the labor market. A reduction in workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths through enhanced safety on the job benefits the public as well as the employers and the employees by lowering both financial and physical costs. Ensuring immunity to insurers in the provision of safety
consultation services encourages and promotes safety in the workplace and improves the relationship between employers and employees.
