GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR, CHOLERA

IS CHARGED WITH THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT AND
IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
WORKERS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
HOWEVER CURRENTLY ALL WORKPLACE

ORDERS ISSUED BY CAL OSHA ARE
ONLY POSTED IN ENGLISH. THIS
BILL SEEKS TO LESSEN LANGUAGE
ACCESS IN EQUITIES AT THE
WORKPLACE BY REQUIRING CALORIES
YOU TO PREPARE A STANDARDIZED
NOTIFICATION OF COLLISION
INSPECTION OR INVESTIGATION IN
THE TOP SEVEN NON ENGLISH
LANGUAGES AS DETERMINED BY THE
AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY. THOSE
SEVEN LANGUAGES ARE SPANISH,
CANTONESE, MANDARIN, VIETNAMESE
, TAGALOG, KOREAN AND ARMENIAN
AS WELL AS PUNJABI. A B 2068
WILL REQUIRE CAL OSHA TO PREPARE
A STANDARDIZED NOTIFICATION FOR
THE EMPLOYER TO POST AT A
PROMINENT LOCATION IN THE
WORKPLACE NEAR WHERE THE
VIOLATION OCCURRED. IT WILL
INCLUDE AT A MINIMUM, THE THAT
COW INVESTIGATED THE WORKPLACE
AND FOUND A WORKPLACE SAFETY OR
HEALTH VIOLATION. THE
INVESTIGATION RESULTED IN ONE OR
MORE CITATIONS OR ORDERS THAT
THE EMPLOYER MUST POST AT OR

EMPLOYERS ARE REQUIRED TO
COMMUNICATE AND HE HAZARDS AT
THE WORKPLACE TO EMPLOYEES IN A
LANGUAGE AND MANNER THEY
UNDERSTAND AND LASTLY, CONTACT
INFORMATION FOR THE DIVISION AND
INTERNET WEBSITE WHERE EMPLOYEES
CAN SEARCH FOR CITATIONS AGAINST
THEIR EMPLOYERS. THIS WILL
MINIMIZE THAT LANGUAGE ACCESS
BARRIERS IN THE WORKPLACE,
ENSURE PROPER ENFORCEMENT OF
HEALTH AND SAFETY LAWS, EMPOWER
IMMIGRANT WORKERS AND PROVIDE
FOR SAFER WORKPLACES ACROSS
