Cal/OSHA has scheduled a meeting March 13, 2014, to discuss the possibility of revising the definition of "repeat violation" pertaining to its Section 334(d) of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. The agency reports possible changes are "intended to improve worker protection in California," and that the proposed revisions relate to the criteria for classifying a citation as "repeat." Occupational Health & Safety reports that one revision would extend the statute of limitations from 3 to 5 years; another would change the geographic limitation to statewide.
Any questions or concerns about the upcoming meeting can be directed to Chris Grossgart at (415) 557-0300.
