Who this affects: This bill mainly affects workers, employers, and governments that handle job safety. Workers could see changes in how hazards, complaints, and inspections are handled. Employers could face fewer federal OSHA rules, but they may also face uncertainty about what rules still apply.

Why this matters: Workplace safety rules affect what happens when a job is dangerous or a worker reports a hazard. This bill would remove the main federal system for those rules. The bill does not say what comes next, so the practical effects are uncertain. Safety duties could shift to states, private contracts, insurance rules, or other laws.
