AB 2774 became law in California on Jan. 1, 2011. It’s one of the most important pieces of occupational safety and health legislation since Cal/OSHA came into existence.

What does AB 2774 do? It provides the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) with a series of steps to complete to establish a serious violation. And if the steps are followed, employers will face major fines that are more likely to stick—and stick without reduction.

This isn’t an additional hurdle for DOSH to surmount. In fact, the law was essentially written by DOSH to make it easier for serious violations to be upheld if they’re appealed.

What will be the impact of AB 2774? We could see an increase in the number of citations for serious violations, as well as a reduction in the number of successful appeals of these citations.

So what’s an employer to do?

First, you must understand your rights and responsibilities and provide the best safety environment possible. Next, you need to find out exactly what the new law proposes and how it does impact your business. The easiest way to do that is by purchasing the DVD from Providence Publications, “AB2774: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You”.
