Safety Updates

Cal/OSHA is an important safety resource for contractors. To better assist contractors, Cal/OSHA offers help through its Consultation Service. The Consultation Service is free of charge for WACA contracting members. These consulting services will not result in citations or penalties for the company, rather the consultation will provide recommendations for better safety practices as needed for the contractor. Cal/OSHA is staffed by safety specialists and industrial hygienists that provide an array of safety and health services. To find out more, contact WACA Safety Consultant Chris Lee at ​ccarllee@sbcglobal.net
