SUMMARY:Federal and State OSHA Heat Illness Prevention (Cal/OSHA Crossover)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel L. Conn\, Rachel L. Graeber\, and Beeta B. Lashkari \n\n\n\n\nAs temperatures begin to rise\, now is the time for employers to renew their focus on heat illness prevention.  Although Fed OSHA made significant progress towards promulgating a heat illness prevention standard for both outdoor and indoor work settings during the Biden Administration\, it stopped short of the finish line.  Fed OSHA\, however\, still has many enforcement tools at its disposal.  Additionally\, many OSH State Plan states have promulgated their own heat illness prevention standards\, including California (separate standards for outdoor and indoor heat)\, Washington (outdoor heat)\, Oregon (single standard for both outdoor and indoor heat)\, Minnesota (indoor heat and cold stress)\, Maryland (single standard for both outdoor and indoor heat) and Nevada (single standard for both outdoor and indoor heat). \nEmployers should start getting ready to implement heat illness prevention and mitigation measures now\, first and foremost\, to protect their employees\, and to avoid potential OSHA citations.  Join us for our webinar discussing FedOSHA’s heat illness rulemaking – its status\, scope and what it may require – as well as the other significant steps Federal and State OSHAs are taking to address heat illness. \nParticipants in this webinar will learn: \n\nThe latest FedOSHA and state rulemaking efforts\, including emphasis programs\nStrategies for reviewing and updating heat illness prevention plans and training\nSummary of 2025 enforcement trends and predictions for 2026\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Strategies to Prevent Workplace Violence and an Overview of the Ever-Growing Legal Landscape (L&E / OSHA / Cal/OSHA Crossover)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Conn\, Dan Deacon\, and Andrea Chavez\n\n\n\n\nWorkplace violence has been a focus for both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) for several years\, as it continues to be one of the leading causes of occupational injuries in the country. While OSHA has no specific standard for workplace violence\, the OSH Act’s General Duty Clause requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized serious hazards\, and OSHA has instituted enforcement actions under its General Duty Clause after incidents of workplace violence. OSHA has also initiated a rulemaking to address workplace violence in specific industries. \nCalifornia has taken the lead in implementing the first workplace violence rule in the country for general industry\, requiring nearly all California employers (unless they fall under one of the limited exemptions) to establish\, implement\, and maintain an “effective” written workplace violence prevention plan\, investigate every workplace violence incident (broadly defined)\, create and maintain violent incident logs\, conduct annual employee and supervisor training\, and abide by additional recordkeeping requirements. Numerous state laws also govern workplace violence in specific industries\, such as retail\, hospitality\, and healthcare. Most recently\, in September 2024\, New York implemented the New York Retail Worker Safety Act which likely reflects the start of a trend in workplace violence prevention laws nationwide. \nAdditionally\, the EEOC has prioritized ways to effectively prevent and address workplace violence\, particularly in workplace harassment. Furthermore\, outside of OSHA\, state legislation\, and the EEOC\, employers can be held liable for workplace violence through other claims such as negligent hiring and supervision. \nParticipants in this webinar will learn:\n\nWhat constitutes workplace violence\nEEOC and OSHA enforcement priorities\nLegal risks associated with workplace violence\nUpdates on federal OSHA workplace violence rulemaking\nCalifornia’s Workplace Violence law\nNew York’s Retail Worker Safety Act\nPatchwork of State Laws to deter and address workplace violence\n\nThis program has been approved by SHRM for 1 hour of HR professional development credit. \nThis program has been approved for 1 (General) recertification credit hour toward aPHR™\, aPHRi™\, PHR®\, PHRca®\, SPHR®\, GPHR®\, PHRi™ and SPHRi™ recertification through the HR Certification Institute.

SUMMARY:CMC’s 3rd Annual Cal/OSHA and California Employment Law Summit (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 21\, and Thursday\, October 23\, 2025\n\nConn Maciel Carey LLP’s 3rd Annual Cal/OSHA and California Employment Law Summit is an in-person program conducted by the California-based attorneys in CMC’s national OSHA Workplace Safety and Labor Employment Practice Groups\, to update California employers on important developments involving workplace safety and health and employment law issues in California. \nLearn How to Navigate California Requirements:\nCalifornia’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) is the most aggressive and enforcement-heavy approved State OSH Program in the nation\, and as a result\, California employers face a host of requirements that other employers around the country do not.

SUMMARY:Federal and State OSHA Heat Illness Prevention (OSHA / Cal/OSHA Crossover)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Beeta Lashkari\, Megan Shaked\, and Mark Ishu\n\nAs temperatures begin to rise\, now is the time to remind employees about the importance of heat illness prevention.  Although FedOSHA made tremendous efforts towards promulgating a heat illness prevention standard for both outdoor and indoor work settings during the Biden Administration\, it stopped a little short of the finish line.  Most recently\, it requested public comments on its proposed rule\, which were due on January 14\, 2025\, and scheduled an informal public hearing\, coming up on June 16\, 2025.  While we do not expect much activity on the rulemaking end this term\, FedOSHA still has many enforcement tools in its toolbox. \nAdditionally\, many OSH State Plan states have their own heat illness prevention standards.  These include\, for example\, California (separate standards for outdoor and indoor heat)\, Washington (outdoor heat)\, Oregon (single standard for both outdoor and indoor heat)\, Minnesota (indoor heat)\, and\, newly adopted at the end of 2024\, Maryland (single standard for both outdoor and indoor heat) and Nevada (single standard for both outdoor and indoor heat).  Of course\, these standards apply to employers in their respective states\, regardless of FedOSHA’s lack of a current standard. \nEmployers should start getting ready to implement heat illness prevention and mitigation measures now\, first and foremost\, to protect their employees\, and to avoid potential OSHA citations.  Join us for our webinar discussing FedOSHA’s heat illness rulemaking – its status\, scope and what it may require – as well as the other significant steps Federal and State OSHAs are taking to address heat illness. \n  \nThis program has been preapproved for 1.00 General California Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit.

SUMMARY:The Intersection Between Artificial Intelligence and Employment and OSHA Law
DESCRIPTION:The latest phenomenon in artificial intelligence (“AI”)\, generative AI such as ChatGPT\, has changed the world as we know it. While some fear AI will replace workers and others praise its efficiency and productivity\, there is no doubt that AI could be the largest technological advancement since the invention of the computer. \nNow\, companies are starting to wrestle with how to handle the use of AI in the workplace. In fact\, it is possible that your company is already using AI in ways that you might not have considered or be aware of. For Human Resources\, generative AI can produce strong benefits including helping to create job descriptions\, draft model interview questions\, or assist managers in preparing performance evaluations. But with every benefit\, there comes risk and limitations\, including discrimination\, confidentiality\, and reliability concerns. \nParticipants in this webinar learned: \n\nProtecting confidential and trade secret information\nThe Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (“EEOC’s”) Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Fairness Initiative\nState and local laws regulating the use of AI\nBest practices on the use of AI in the workplace

SUMMARY:Process Safety Update: OSHA’s PSM Standard\, EPA’s RMP Rule\, the Chemical Safety Board\, and their California Counterparts
DESCRIPTION:After years of stagnation\, we’ve finally seen movement on updating process safety regulations during the Biden administration. But the revamped PSM standard and RMP rules have yet to see the light of day. During this webinar\, we discussed when we might expect final rules and how employers can prepare for the new burdens they will create. Cal/OSHA’s PSM standard and CalARP’s RMP rule resemble the federal rules but present their own unique set of compliance challenges. Also\, we compared and contrasted the rules and talked about strategies for compliance. \nParticipants in this webinar learned about: \n\nThe status of OSHA’s and EPA’s process safety rulemakings.\nThe expected content of the new rules and how to prepare them.\nOther process safety-related developments at OSHA and EPA under the Biden Administration.\nCal/OSHA’s PSM standard and CalARP’s RMP rule and strategies for navigating the challenges they present.

SUMMARY:California's Lead Standards Get An Update
DESCRIPTION:In February of 2024\, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board passed an update to California’s lead regulations (General Industry and Construction) that drastically lowered the threshold for testing and the permissible exposure levels. Although there is a delay in the effective date for the changes to January 1\, 2025\, now is the time for employers to understand the changes and how they might impact safety and health programs. \nIn addition\, industries that have not historically considered themselves covered by the regulation need to pay close attention to whether they may now be covered by the new requirements. This program will offer a deep dive into the background of the Cal/OSHA regulations\, the new requirements\, and tips and strategies for employers. \nParticipants in this webinar learned about: \n\nBackground on lead regulations in California and under federal OSHA\nThe expansion of the Cal/OSHA regulation for lead in General Industry and Construction\nOther significant changes in the regulations\nWhat this change means for employers who have not been previously covered by the regulations\nPractical considerations for compliance

SUMMARY:Tips for Preventing and Responding to Workplace Violence
DESCRIPTION:Workplace violence has been a focus for both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) for several years\, as it continues to be one of the leading causes of occupational injuries in the country every year. While OSHA has no specific standard for workplace violence\, the OSH Act’s General Duty Clause requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized serious hazards\, and OSHA has instituted enforcement actions under its General Duty Clause after incidents of workplace violence. OSHA has also initiated a rulemaking to address workplace violence in specific industries. \nCalifornia has taken the lead in implementing the first workplace violence rule in the country for general industry\, requiring nearly all California employers (unless they fall under one of the limited exemptions) to establish\, implement\, and maintain an “effective” written workplace violence prevention plan\, investigate every incident workplace violence (broadly defined)\, create and maintain violent incident logs\, conduct annual employee and supervisor training\, and abide by additional recordkeeping requirements. This general industry rule follows the Cal/OSHA regulation on Workplace Violence Prevention in Health Care. \nThe EEOC has also prioritized ways to effectively prevent and address workplace violence\, particularly in the form of workplace harassment. And outside of OSHA and the EEOC\, employers can also be held liable for workplace violence through other claims such as negligent hiring and supervision. \nParticipants in this webinar learned: \n\nWhat constitutes workplace violence\nEEOC and OSHA enforcement priorities\nLegal risks associated with workplace violence\nUpdates on federal OSHA workplace violence rulemaking\nCalifornia’s New Workplace Violence law

SUMMARY:Preparing for California's Indoor Heat Regulation
DESCRIPTION:While temperatures have subsided in California\, the attention on California’s Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation has intensified. Although California’s Heat Illness Prevention in Outdoor Places (8 CCR 3395) has been in force since 2005\, California now is on the verge of adopting an analogous Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation\, marking one of the first standards of its kind in the country. While the draft standard has undergone various revisions over the past year\, the current version is likely in its final form. The Cal/OSHA Standards Board is anticipated to vote on the regulation during its March 2024 meeting\, with the final regulation expected to take effect this summer. \nSince both outdoor and indoor heat illness hazards have been covered by a special emphasis program from Cal/OSHA for several years\, the new Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation is expected to continue to be a high enforcement area for Cal/OSHA. Accordingly\, now is the time for California employers to familiarize themselves with the regulation and begin to prepare for compliance. \nParticipants in this webinar will learn about: \n\nThe requirements of the Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation\nLandmines awaiting employers as they move into compliance with the new regulation\nStrategies for developing a compliant Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Plan\nThe intersection between the Indoor and Outdoor Heat Illness Prevention Standards and how to integrate both

SUMMARY:Workplace Violence Prevention: Crossroads of OSH and Employment Law
DESCRIPTION:Even while Cal/OSHA was working away on a General Industry Workplace Violence Prevention Rule\, on September 30\, 2023\, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 553 – a sweeping new law addressing Workplace Violence Prevention in virtually all California workplaces. California employers (unless they fall under one of the limited exemptions) will be required by July 1\, 2024 to establish\, implement\, and maintain an “effective” written workplace violence prevention plan\, investigate every incident workplace violence (broadly defined)\, create and maintain violent incident logs\, conduct annual employee and supervisor training\, and abide by additional recordkeeping requirements. The new law also expands the circumstances and parties who may seek workplace violence restraining orders on behalf of employees and broadens workplace violence restraining orders to also include harassment. Finally\, the law requires Cal/OSHA to finalize the Workplace Violence Prevention rule that it has been crafting in short order. \nEmployers will need to work quickly to understand their new compliance obligations and develop and implement the onerous new requirements. This program will be a deep dive into the background of this new law\, the new requirements\, the other employment laws implicated by implementing a workplace violence prevention program\, what to expect from Cal/OSHA moving forward\, and tips and strategies for employers. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe requirements of the Workplace Violence Prevention law\nLandmines awaiting employers as they move into compliance with the new law\nStrategies for developing compliant workplace violence prevention programs\nThe intersection between this new Workplace Violence legislation and Cal/OSHA’s ongoing workplace violence rulemaking
