PART 627--GENERAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING PROGRAMS UNDER TITLES I, II, AND III OF THE ACT--Table of Contents
 
   Subpart C--Payments, Supportive Services, and Benefits and Working 
                               Conditions
 
Sec. 627.315  Benefits and working conditions.

    (a) In the development and conduct of programs funded under the Act, 
SDA's and SSG's shall ensure that participants are not assigned to work 
for employers which do not comply with applicable labor laws, including 
wage and hour, occupational health and safety, and child labor laws (29 
CFR part 570).
    (b) To the extent that a State workers' compensation law is 
applicable, workers' compensation benefits in accordance with such law 
shall be available with respect to injuries suffered by participants. 
Where a State's workers' compensation law is not applicable, recipients 
and subrecipients shall secure insurance coverage for injuries suffered 
by such participants in all JTPA work-related activities. Income 
maintenance coverage (e.g., contributions for unemployment 
compensation), is not required for participants (section 143(a)(3)).
    (c) Where a participant is engaged in activities not covered under 
the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, the 
participant shall not be required or permitted to work, be trained, or 
receive services in buildings or surroundings or under working 
conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to the 
participant's health or safety. A participant employed or trained for 
inherently dangerous occupations, e.g., fire or police jobs, shall be 
assigned to work in accordance with reasonable safety practices (section 
143(a)(2)).
