Massachusetts H2101 aims to enforce worksite safety laws by preventing the transfer of liability for safety breaches in construction contracts.
Massachusetts H2101 amends existing laws to ensure that parties in construction contracts cannot transfer their responsibility for workplace safety to others. This means that if a party fails to maintain a safe workplace or comply with safety standards, they cannot shift the financial burden of any resulting claims, liabilities, fines, or damages to another party. Any contract clause attempting to do so is declared void and unenforceable.
