OSHA Training in Salinas CA

The State of California, under an agreement with Federal OSHA, operates an approved State Plan OSHA Program, commonly known as Cal-OSHA. Initial approval of the California State Plan was published on May 1, 1973, and certification for completing all developmental steps was received on August 19, 1977. That is why most, but not all, employers in Salinas CA must comply with Cal/OSHA safety orders requiring employee training.

Employers in need of Federal or Cal/OSHA Training in Salinas CA can get the training for their employees from OSHA Training Services Inc., because they offer on site training classes on all key OSHA topics and titles.

CA OSHA Training Regulations and Standards

Health and safety standards in the State of California are significantly different than those of Federal OSHA. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board is a standard setting agency within the Cal-OSHA program, which includes development and maintenance of standards for certain areas not covered by federal standards or enforcement. These latter standards apply to elevators, aerial passenger tramways, amusement rides, pressure vessels, and mine safety training.

Cal-OSHA health and safety standards (also known as safety orders under Title 8) are available on the California DOL website.
