WILL YOU PASS Cal/OSHA'S INSPECTION?

THE SOLUTION
TO
Cal/OSHA Compliance
for
S.B.198 - Effective July 1st 1991

PROBLEM:

Every employer shall and must establish and maintain an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program. The Program shall be in writing and shall include the following requirements (Ref: Cal/OSHA Section 3203):

REQUIREMENTS:

•  
  • Identify the person(s) responsible for implementation of program
  • Ensure that employees comply with safe work practices - discipline/sanctions
  • Communicating all hazards to employees known to management
  • Scheduled periodic inspections to identify unsafe conditions
  • A procedure for investigating all accidents and near misses
  • Provide initial and continuing training of all employees
  • A system to maintain documentation on all safety activities

NOTE:..... Most Workers' Compensation applications now require proof of a site specific SB198 Safety Program, and under the new Workers' Compensation Reform Act (AB110) there is a much stronger tie in to safety regulations. Workers'Compensation data is now to target individual employers for safety inspections.

CAL/OSHA, since 1995, has been sending out letters to companies with an Experience Modification Factor (Ex. Mod.) of 1.25 or higher. The letter requests that the company to call Cal/OSHA to establish a review of their Safety Program by their Consultation Division or their insurance company, or consultant, and report back to them within a reasonable length of time. If they fail to comply, they may be placed on a primary inspection list, with the potential of the following:

• Fines up to $25,000.00 (serious citations)
• Potential civil and criminal liability
• Possible costly employer litigation

OPTIONS: (How can you as an employer comply?)

•  
  • 1. Purchase guides on "How to Comply" and try to handle this immense task yourself.
  • 2. Hire expensive labor lawyers to design a totally custom plan for your business.
