Do you know the difference between the Enforcement Branch and Consultation Branch of Cal/OSHA? On January 22, 2020, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc. hosted a workshop led by Carmen Cisneros, Area Manager from the Cal/OSHA Consultation Services Branch in San Diego. The workshop was held at the Boys & Girls Club of East County and covered how Cal/OSHA’s consultation branch can be a helpful resource to improve workplace safety.

Carmen suggests any business with an Experience Modification (XMOD) over 125, contact Cal/OSHA for a free onsite consultation. Have the consultation held at a jobsite to ensure you get accurate suggested improvements.

In addition to improving workplace safety, requesting a consultation from Cal/OSHA may assist your business in becoming eligible for the Golden Gate Program. Contact Cal/OSHA Consultation for more details.

Laws and guidelines will continue to change. The Cal/OSHA Consultation Branch is there to help make your job sites safer and hopefully assist in avoiding a visit from the Enforcement Branch.
