San Diego, is like everywhere else employers big and small must deal with Cal-OSHA compliance San Diego style.
One might ask what does Cal-OSHA San Diego mean? Well to be honest it means the employers in San Diego must comply, not only with Cal-OSHA, but also labor laws just like every other city in California.
Cal-OSHA San Diego compliance means employers must be prepared to document that they have and do the following:
- Formally Written Safety Program
- A Heat Illness Prevention Program
- Respirator Program
- Emergency Action Plan
While San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in California, I mean you have your Padres, your beaches but you also have compliance issues with both labor laws and Cal-Osha San Diego. As an employer in San Diego I would encourage everyone to have an employee handbook that has been updated to include the new California Paid Sick Leave Law.
I would encourage employers to develop their At-Will status. But not only establish your At- Will status but make sure you know how to use it. Using your At-Will Status wrong could cause you to be in and eventually lose a wrongful termination lawsuit.
Losing such a suit could cost you six figures conservatively. That being said I would encourage any employer to make sure that they have a good safety consultant as well as a good hr consultant. Someone who not only knows the laws but knows how the laws are being enforce.
