California’s Lead Standards Get An Update [WEBINAR RECORDING]

On Thursday, June 6, 2024, Rachel L. Conn, Megan S. Shaked, and Anthony M. Casaletta presented a webinar regarding California’s Lead Standards Update.

In February of 2024, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board passed an update to California’s lead regulations (General Industry and Construction) that drastically lowered the threshold for testing as well as the permissible exposure levels. Although there is a delay in the effective date for the changes to January 1, 2025, now is the time for employers to understand the changes and how they might impact safety and health programs.

In addition, industries that have not historically considered themselves covered by the regulation need to pay close attention to whether they may now be covered by the new requirements. This program will offer a deep dive into the background of the Cal/OSHA regulations, the new requirements, and tips and strategies for employers.

Participants in this webinar learned about:

• Background on lead regulations in California and under federal OSHA
• The expansion of the Cal/OSHA regulation for lead in General Industry and Construction
• Other significant changes in the regulations
• What this change means for employers who have not been previously covered by the regulations
• Practical considerations for compliance

We are pleased to share these links to a copy of the slides and a recording of the webinar.
