Included in what the feds will look at: OSHA violations within the last three years. Are all OSHA violators now barred from federal contracts?<\/p>\n<p>Not necessarily.<\/p>\n<p>The Fair Pay and Safe Workplace Executive Order (EO) will require prospective federal contractors to disclose labor law violations. These include violations of several labor laws including the Fair Labor Standard Act, the National Labor Relations Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.<\/p>\n<p>The EO will be implemented on new contracts in stages during 2016.
