Key jurisdictional differences - and what they mean

“immediate on-scene assistance” vs. “employee’s location”

Who’s covered? Housekeepers, room service attendants, janitors, security

personnel

Who can respond? Managers vs. ”any appropriate staff”

Fines: some have them, some don’t

Signage – may be required

Policies – some require, some don’t – Chicago Lessons.
