(a) Health and safety standards established under Federal and State
law otherwise applicable to working conditions of employees are equally
applicable to working conditions of participants engaged in programs
and activities under Title I of WIA.
(b)(1) To the extent that a State workers' compensation law
applies, workers' compensation must be provided to participants in
programs and activities under Title I of WIA on the same basis as the
compensation is provided to other individuals in the State in similar
employment.
(2) If a State workers' compensation law applies to a participant
in work experience, workers' compensation benefits must be available
with respect to injuries suffered by the participant in such work
experience. If a State workers' compensation law does not apply to a
participant in work experience, insurance coverage must be secured for
injuries suffered by the participant in the course of such work
experience.
