Cal OSHA Performs Surprise Weekend Inspections for Heat Illness Prevention and Confined Space Compliance


Two weeks ago when the temperatures in the Central Valley soared past 90 degrees, Cal OSHA set a new precedent performing surprise inspections on Saturday and Sunday to inspect sites for compliance of heat illness and confined space programs. They passed out more than 100 violations for heat illness violations and confined space violations to local employers.

Cal OSHA plays a vital role in keeping California's manufacturing workplaces safe and their efforts serve to protect millions of workers, but if your company is subjected to a Cal/OSHA inspection - it is seldom cause for celebration. Cal/OSHA violations can be costly to not only your bottom line, but your company's reputation.

If you are unsure whether your company is in compliance, or if you have any training needs related to either topic, Citadel can help. We offer comprehensive Cal/OSHA needs assessment, and implementation programs, including online and in-class training in Heat Assessment and Confined Space, as well as many other programs.
