You've been cited for a violation by Cal/OSHA. Since it's only a few hundred dollars, you figure you'll just pay the penalty rather than spend time and money on defending your case. But by paying the fine, you are essentially admitting to wrongdoing. This could land you on the hook for future violations and even criminal prosecution if there is an accident or high frequency of recurrence.

Appealing citations should be your first plan of attack when faced with an Cal/OSHA violation. It's important to look beyond the short term and understand that once you pay the fine, you can't challenge the penalty—you own it for up to three years. Instead, deploy a sensible appeals strategy to protect you both now and in the future.

Join us for an in-depth audio conference on how to make good business decisions when it comes to appealing Cal/OSHA citations—and bring your managers along. You'll learn:

• How cal/osha citation history is used as an indicator of safety performance
• Why appealing Cal/OSHA citations is generally good business practice, and how to determine the best course of action
• Cal/OSHA inspection priorities
• How you should interact with the Cal/OSHA inspector
• The data and documentation you need to collect to appeal an Cal/OSHA citation
• The steps to contest an Cal/OSHA citation
• Ways to resolve or settle the Cal/OSHA violation
• How to prevent recurring violations by updating your safety program and addressing the issues you were cited for
