Last week, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) released frequently asked questions that address some questions raised as health care employers continue to prepare for full implementation of the health care workplace violence prevention regulations beginning April 1. As discussed in previous articles, while some requirements went into effect on April 1, 2017, the majority of the regulations’ requirements take effect April 1, 2018.
The frequently asked questions include information on the regulations’ scope, as well as recording and reporting obligations. CHA has engaged Jeff Tanenbaum, partner at Nixon Peabody, to provide a white paper that includes several issues that not addressed in the FAQs. The white paper should be ready for distribution prior to April 1.
