Cal/OSHA does not cite workers for violations of their responsibilities, but each employee is encouraged to comply with all Cal/OSHA rules, regulations and standards. Cal/OSHA recommends workers do the following:

• Read the Cal/OSHA poster at your job site
• Increase your awareness about Cal/OSHA standards designed to protect workers. Call your local Cal/OSHA Enforcement Unit district office for information
• Follow all lawful employer safety and health rules and regulations, and wear or use prescribed protective equipment while working
• Report hazardous conditions to your employer
• Report any job-related injury or illness to your employer, and seek treatment promptly
• Cooperate with the Cal/OSHA enforcement personnel when they are conducting an inspection if they inquire about safety and health conditions in your workplace
• Exercise your rights under the California Occupational Safety and Health Act. They are provided for your protection.
