Explanation
Cal/OSHA requires employers to train workers on the hazards they face, including hazard communication for chemicals, plus specific training for tasks like ladder use, fall protection, respirators, and lead or silica work. Effective training helps workers recognize and control hazards. It is a core part of the employer's Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
