More information for workers
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. The California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 was enacted by the California Legislature to assure safe and healthful working conditions for all California working men and women.
Cal/OSHA wants every worker to go home from work each day safe and healthy.
Cal/OSHA was created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 to enforce
effective standards, assist and encourage employers to maintain safe and healthful
working conditions, and to provide for enforcement, research, information, education
and training in the field of occupational safety and health.
