SafetyQuestion 372 of 1632

Cal/OSHA requires every construction employer to adopt a written document of safe work practices relating to its own operations. Which document is it?

a.Emergency Action Plan under section 3220
b.Code of Safe Practices under section 1509
c.Heat Illness Prevention Plan under 3395
d.Hazard Communication Program under section 5194

Explanation

Section 1509(a) requires every construction employer to have an effective injury and illness prevention programme under section 3203, and (b) adds a written Code of Safe Practices relating to the employer's own operations, containing language equivalent to the relevant parts of Plate A-3 in the Appendix; (c) then requires it to be posted at each job site office or given to each supervisor. The other three are genuine written programmes with their own triggers: the emergency action plan in section 3220 where that standard applies, the heat illness prevention plan in section 3395(i) for outdoor employers, and the hazard communication programme in section 5194(e) wherever hazardous chemicals are present. A contractor may owe all four. Only one of them comes from section 1509.

Law Reference: 8 CCR §1509(a)-(c); §3220; §3395(i); §5194(e)
