priority listed, upon consummation of the land exchange authorized by 
this Act and shall be administered according to the laws governing

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Nurse and Health 
Care Worker Protection Act of 2015''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2014, registered nurses ranked sixth among all 
        occupations for the number of cases of musculoskeletal 
        disorders resulting in days away from work, with 11,360 total 
        cases. Nursing assistants reported 20,020 cases in 2014, the 
        second highest of any profession. The leading cause of these 
        health care employees' injuries is patient lifting, 
        transferring, and repositioning injuries, which constitute a 
        significant risk to the health and welfare of those employees 
        under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
            (2) The physical demands of the nursing profession lead 
        many nurses to leave the profession. Fifty-two percent of 
        nurses complain of chronic back pain and 38 percent suffer from 
        pain severe enough to require leave from work. Many nurses and 
        other health care workers suffering back injury do not return 
        to work. These consequences constitute a material impairment of 
        health for these employees under the Occupational Safety and 
        Health Act of 1970.
            (3) Patients are not at optimum levels of safety while 
        being lifted, transferred, or repositioned manually. 
        Appropriate mechanical lifts can substantially reduce skin 
        tears and pressure ulcers suffered by patients and the 
        frequency of patients being dropped, thus allowing patients a 
        safer means to progress through their care and avoid disabling 
        injuries due to unsafe practices.
            (4) The development of assistive patient handling 
        technology, equipment, and devices has essentially rendered the 
        act of strict manual patient handling outdated and typically 
        unnecessary as a function of nursing care.
            (5) A growing number of health care facilities that have 
        incorporated patient handling technology and practices have 
        reported positive results. Injuries among nursing staff and 
        health care workers have dramatically declined at health care 
        facilities implementing safe patient handling technology, 
        equipment, devices, and practices. As a result, the number of 
        lost work days due to injury and staff turnover has declined. 
        Studies have also shown that assistive patient handling 
        technology successfully reduces workers' compensation costs for 
        musculoskeletal disorders.
            (6) A number of States have implemented safe patient 
        handling, mobility and injury prevention standards. The success 
        of these programs at the facility and State level demonstrates 
        the technological and economical feasibility of such standards.
            (7) Establishing a safe patient handling, mobility, and 
        injury prevention standard for direct-care registered nurses 
        and other health care workers is a critical component 
        reasonably necessary for protecting the health and safety of 
        nurses and other health care workers, addressing the nursing 
        shortage, and increasing patient safety.

SEC. 2. SAFE PATIENT HANDLING, MOBILITY, AND INJURY PREVENTION 
              STANDARD.

    (a) Rulemaking.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, not 
later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary of Labor shall, pursuant to section 6 of the Occupational 
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655), promulgate an interim 
final standard on safe patient handling, mobility, and injury 
prevention (in this section such standard is referred to as the ``safe 
patient handling, mobility, and injury prevention standard'') to 
prevent musculoskeletal disorders for direct-care registered nurses and 
all other health care workers handling patients. The interim final 
standard shall remain in effect until it is replaced by a final safe 
patient handling, mobility, and injury prevention standard.
    (b) Requirements.--The safe patient handling, mobility, and injury 
prevention standard shall require the use of engineering and safety 
controls to perform handling of patients and to reduce the incidence of 
injuries from manual handling of patients by direct-care registered 
nurses and all other health care workers, through the development of a 
comprehensive program, to include the use of mechanical technology and 
devices to the greatest degree feasible. Where the use of mechanical 
technology and devices is not feasible, the standards shall require the 
use of alternative controls and measures to minimize the risk of injury 
to nurses and health care workers resulting from the manual handling of 
patients. The standard shall apply to all health care employers, shall 
generally align with interprofessional national safe patient handling, 
mobility, and injury prevention standards, and shall include the 
following:
            (1) Program development.--A requirement that each health 
        care employer shall develop and implement a safe patient 
        handling, mobility, and injury prevention program within 6 
        months of the date of promulgation of the interim final 
        standard, which program shall include hazard identification, 
        risk assessments, and control measures in relation to patient 
        care duties and patient handling.
            (2) Technology and equipment purchase and management.--A 
        requirement that, within 2 years of the date of issuance by the 
        Secretary of an interim final standard, each health care 
        employer shall purchase, use, maintain, and make accessible to 
        health care workers, such safe patient handling equipment, 
        technology, and accessories as the Secretary determines 
        appropriate.
            (3) Health care worker participation.--A requirement that 
        each health care employer shall obtain input from health care 
        workers, to include direct care registered nurses, health care 
        workers, their representatives, and their collective bargaining 
        agents, in developing and implementing the safe patient 
        handling, mobility, and injury prevention program, including 
        training and education and the purchase of technology and 
        equipment and necessary accessories.
            (4) Data tracking and review.--A requirement that each 
        health care employer shall establish a review program to 
        analyze data relevant to the implementation of the employers' 
        safe patient handling, mobility, and injury prevention program, 
        and shall account for circumstances where safe patient handling 
        technology or equipment were not utilized in accordance with 
        the health care employers' safe patient handling, mobility, and 
        injury prevention standard. Each health care employer shall 
        upon request, make available their findings and data used in 
        such review, to health care workers, their representatives, 
        their collective bargaining agents, and the Secretary or other 
        Federal agency. Each health care employer shall maintain the 
        data and findings from their review for at least 5 years
            (5) Incorporation of technology into facilities.--A 
        requirement that each health care employer shall consider the 
        feasibility of incorporating safe patient handling technology 
        as part of process of new facility design and construction, or 
        facility remodeling.
            (6) Education and training.--A requirement that each health 
        care employer shall train health care workers on safe patient 
        handling, mobility, and injury prevention policies, technology, 
        equipment, and devices, initially, and on a continuing annual 
        basis, and as necessary. Such training shall prepare health 
        care workers, to identify, assess, and control musculoskeletal 
        hazards of a general nature, and those specific to particular 
        patient care areas, and shall be conducted by an individual 
        with knowledge in the subject matter, and delivered, at least 
        in part, in an interactive simulated point-of-care training and 
        hands-on format that reflects the specific demands of a health 
        care workers' duties.
            (7) Notice of safe patient handling and rights under this 
        act.--A requirement that each health care employer shall post a 
        uniform notice in a form specified by the Secretary that--
                    (A) explains the safe patient handling, mobility, 
                and injury prevention standard;
                    (B) includes information regarding safe patient 
                handling, mobility, and injury prevention policies and 
                training;
                    (C) explains procedures to report patient handling-
                related injuries; and
                    (D) explains health care workers' rights under this 
                Act, including any whistleblower protections.
            (8) Annual evaluation.--A requirement that each health care 
        employer shall conduct an annual written evaluation of the 
        implementation of the safe patient handling, mobility, and 
        injury prevention program, including handling procedures, 
        selection of technology, equipment, and engineering controls, 
        assessment of injuries, and new safe patient handling, 
        mobility, and injury prevention technology and devices that 
        have been developed. The evaluation shall be conducted with the 
        involvement of nurses, other health care workers, their 
        representatives, and their collective bargaining agents, and 
        their input shall be documented in the evaluation. Health care 
        employers shall take corrective action as recommended in the 
        written evaluation.
            (9) Right to refuse unsafe assignment.--A requirement that 
        each health care employer shall provide procedures under which 
        a health care worker or employee may refuse to perform the 
        employee's duties if the employee has a reasonable apprehension 
        that performing such duties would violate the safe patient 
        handling, mobility, and injury prevention standard, and would 
        result in injury or impairment of health to the health care 
        worker, other health care workers, or patients. Where 
        practicable, the health care worker must have communicated the 
        health or safety concern to the health care employer and have 
        not been able to obtain a correction of the violation.
    (c) Inspections.--The Secretary of Labor shall conduct unscheduled 
inspections under section 8 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 
of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 657) to ensure implementation of and compliance with

Example Output:
Nurse and Health Care Worker Protection Act of 2015 This bill requires the Department of Labor to establish a standard on safe patient handling, mobility, and injury prevention to prevent musculoskeletal disorders for health care workers. The standard must require the use of engineering and safety controls to handle patients. The standard must require health care employers to: (1) develop and implement a safe patient handling, mobility, and injury prevention program; (2) train their workers on safe patient handling, mobility, and injury prevention; and (3) post a notice that explains the standard, procedures to report patient handling-related injuries, and workers' rights under this Act. Labor must conduct unscheduled inspections to ensure compliance with the standard. This bill amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to apply the standard to hospitals receiving Medicare funds.
