[Webinar Recording] Cal/OSHA Developments that California Employers Must Track

On April 16, 2020, Andrew Sommer, Eric J. Conn, and Megan Shaked of the law firm Conn Maciel Carey presented a complimentary webinar: Cal/OSHA Developments that California Employers Must Track.

California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, aka Cal/OSHA, is perhaps the most aggressive and enforcement-heavy state OSH Program in the nation. California employers face a host of requirements that other employers around the country do not. Likewise, the Cal/OSHA inspection and Appeal process creates several unique landmines for California employers.

During this webinar, participants learned about:

Cal/OSHA requirements for addressing COVID-19 in the workplace, including its Aerosol Transmissible Diseases rule and Interim Guidelines for General Industry
Data and trends in Cal/OSHA enforcement
Top legal developments including related to protective footwear
Amended serious injury reporting requirements
New rules regarding wildfire smoke and training on Valley Fever
Proposed rulemaking including the Indoor Heat Illness Rule, and Workplace Violence in General Industry

We are pleased to share links to a copy of the slides and a recording of the webinar. Let us know if you have questions about any Cal/OSHA regulatory issues or any other workplace safety issues. We would love to be a resource for you.
