DOWNLOAD: Electricity: Recognizing--and Reducing-- the Risks
October 2010
Electricity gives us the benefits of light, air conditioning, refrigeration, power tools--all sorts of essential things we use every day. Unfortunately, if we're not careful, it can also give us a real shock. California loses about two workers each month to electrocution. For the most part, the workers who die are not qualified electricians; they are tree trimmers, mechanics, janitors, firefighters, and other people who don't typically work with exposed live wiring. Every worker who so much as flips a light switch may be at risk. This Special Report will help you identify and reduce the risks associated with working with electricity. . . .

DOWNLOAD: Cal/OSHA General Industry Training Requirements
October 2009
Training is an essential part of every employer's safety and health program for protecting workers from injuries and illnesses. Many researchers conclude that those who are new on the job have a higher rate of accidents and injuries than more experienced workers. If ignorance of specific job hazards and of proper work practices is even partly to blame for this higher injury rate, then training will help to provide a solution. Training in the proper performance of a job is time and money well spent, and the employer might regard it as an investment rather than an expense. An effective program of safety and health training for workers can result in fewer injuries and illnesses, better morale, and lower insurance premiums, among other benefits. . . .

August 2008
Nobody likes to shuffle papers. But the fact is, the paperwork that relates to your safety program is critical both to your compliance efforts and to documenting the program's intensity and effectiveness. Cal/OSHA inspectors know this; that's why the first thing they'll ask to see when they walk onto your site is your paperwork. If an inspector showed up at your door today and asked for your training records, injury and illness records, written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), hazard assessments, and inspection records, could you produce them? . . .
