Conn Maciel Carey LLP’s Cal/OSHA and California Labor and Employment Law Summit is an in-person program presented by the California-based attorneys in CMC’s national OSHA  Workplace Safety and Labor • Employment Practice Groups, to update California employers on important developments involving workplace safety and health issues in California.​

Learn How to Navigate California Requirements

California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) is the most aggressive and enforcement-heavy approved State OSH Program in the nation, and as a result, California employers face a host of requirements that other employers around the country do not. With a packed rulemaking agenda on the horizon, most employers stand to be impacted by at least one new standard. Additionally, California continues to experience regular changes in the labor and employment law landscape through new legislation and decisions from the California courts and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Our Cal/OSHA and California Labor and Employment Law Summit will include networking opportunities, open forums to collaborate with the Conn Maciel Carey team and your fellow attendees, and panelist sessions to cover:

  • New California worker safety laws and Cal/OSHA regulations, including infectious diseases and enterprise wide and egregious violations.
  • Updates to California’s workplace violence prevention law.
  • New California labor and employment laws for 2026, as well as key decisions from California courts.
  • Fed/OSHA and NLRB updates impacting California employers.
  • Best practices around Emergency Action Plans, wildfires, and other natural disasters with unique issues.
  • The nuances of other West Coast State OSH plans developments in ergonomics and heat.
  • And More!
