The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) is seeking to expand its workplace violence regulations, which currently regulate healthcare facilities, to a general industry standard, which would affect employers in all industries. Cal/OSHA is seeking input on a revised discussion draft for workplace violence prevention in general industry, and interested parties are invited to submit written comments to Senior Safety Engineer Kevin Graulich at KGraulich@dir.ca.gov by November 30, 2018.

Cal/OSHA’s Workplace Violence in General Industry webpage has more information on the expansion of the workplace violence regulations.
