Is an EHS pro also a healthcare provider? The question is relevant because existing and proposed federal and state laws make special provisions for healthcare providers.
The proposed federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, H.R. 5647, introduced to Congress in May 2012, is an example of how healthcare providers may impact the workplace. H.R. 5647 had 112 co-sponsors but did not come out of committee at year end 2012.
