NEW - California Standards Board Passes Sweeping Cal/OSHA Emergency COVID-19 Prevention Regulation
On November 19, 2020, over the vigorous objections of several employers, trade associations, employer agencies, and defense counsel, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board voted unanimously to pass the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s (Cal/OSHA or the “Division”) Emergency COVID-19 Prevention Regulation. The finalized draft will be sent to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on Friday, November 20, and will remain there while the OAL reviews the draft regulation for the next 10 days. The draft will then remain open for the next five days during which stakeholders may submit comments to the OAL. Once the OAL adopts a final regulation, it will be codified and enforceable by Cal/OSHA.
