Date: Tuesday, April 11, 2017

Time: 10:00am to 11:30am, Pacific Daylight Time

Your Hosts: Andrew J. Sommer and Eric J. Conn

The state of California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), better known as Cal/OSHA, is perhaps the most aggressive and enforcement-heavy approved 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.

In light of new Cal/OSHA standards taking effect in 2017 and others on the horizon, this is the perfect time for companies doing business in the Golden State to revamp their safety programs and take necessary steps to ensure compliance with the latest Cal/OSHA safety regulations.

During this webinar, participants will learn about:

Cal/OSHA’s New Repeat Violation Rule
Cal/OSHA’s New Workplace Violence Rule for Health Care Facilities
New Law Mandating the Development of Heat Illness Prevention Regulations for Indoor Workplaces
Changes to Cal/OSHA Penalties on the Horizon
Other Industry Specific Developments
