Employers Fined by Cal/OSHA for
Non-Compliant COVID-19 Employee Training
Recently, Cal/OSHA issued multiple citations and fined several California employers for not providing effective COVID-19 workplace training outlined in Cal/OSHA Interim Guidelines on Protecting Workers from COVID-19.
The violations include failing to adequately train employees on certain workplace safety topics, such as:
- how the virus is spread
- signs and symptoms of COVID-19
- hazards related to COVID-19
- measures to avoid infection
- how to safely use cleaners and disinfectants
Cal/OSHA also cited and fined Ralph’s grocery stores over $100,000 dollars for failing to provide effective COVID-19 employee training, in addition to several other workplace safety violations.
Two Amazon warehouses in California were similarly issued citations by Cal/OSHA for certain workplace safety violations, including the failure to provide effective safety training to employees to help mitigate their potential exposure to COVID-19.
Cal/OSHA’s recent enforcement activities highlight the importance of providing compliant COVID-19 workplace safety training.
