New Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis—a former California legislator—has vowed to "put enforcement back in the Department of Labor." She has already set in motion new standards on food flavorings and combustible dust, and, in general, businesses face more inspections and the threat of increased monetary penalties if they're deemed noncompliant.

Of course, California employers are already used to heightened scrutiny under Cal/OSHA as compared to what employers in other states experience. While many companies grew somewhat lax about safety during the last administration, now's the time to buckle down and evaluate your current policies and practices. Would you be prepared if you opened the door today to find an Cal/OSHA compliance officer ready to inspect your business?

Listen to an in-depth webinar that will help you prepare your company for an Cal/OSHA inspection—because it's not a question of if, but when.

You'll learn:

• Key differences between Cal/OSHA and federal OSHA, what changes to expect under the new administration
• How to conduct a mock inspection and correct any errors you find
• A step-by-step strategy for handling a Cal/OSHA inspection
• How to professionally handle inspectors onsite, and the benefits of doing so
• What NOT to say or do during the inspection
• The best ways to handle employee interviews and whistleblowers
• How to handle the "Document Request Form"
• Your best options in the event you receive a citation
