New developments in Californian OSHA laws

Abstract

Outlines the requirements of the Californian Occupational Safety and Health Act 1973 with particular reference to the updates, additions and reforms. Covers areas such as illness and injury prevention programme, budget constraints, workplace violence, ergonomics and smoking and ventilation. Looks at the plans for a new OSHA and concludes that this area will always be subject to change as attempts are made to keep pace with new hazards.
