Mandatory Change Requires California Employers to Update Their OSHA Labor Poster

SUNRISE, Fla., March 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On February 26, 2010, the California Department of Industrial Relations released a mandatory change to the California OSHA labor poster. The updated Cal/OSHA poster now includes a free worker information hotline number - 1-866-924-9757 - for the California Department of Industrial Relations. Minor address changes were made to the headquarters and district offices, as well.

While these may seem like small revisions, they are mandatory. That means all California employers must display the updated labor poster - or risk fines for non-compliance. As the poster indicates:

California law provides job safety and health protection for workers under the Cal/OSHA program. This California labor poster explains the basic requirements and procedures for compliance with the state's job safety and health laws and regulations. The law requires that this poster be displayed.

The pace of labor law poster changes in today's ever-changing regulatory environment is brisk. With more than 150 state changes and three federal changes since 2007, most businesses need help keeping up. What's more, the cost of purchasing individual postings for every mandatory posting change can be significant.

That's why many employers are turning to dedicated third-party poster providers for affordable, hassle-free posting compliance.

Poster Guard® Compliance Protection, guaranteed by G.Neil, is the easiest, most cost-effective way to comply with federal and California labor law poster changes. For one low membership fee a year, you get a complete posting set containing all required postings, automatic poster replacements anytime a labor law change affects your postings, a 100% Compliance Guarantee against fines, online tools and targeted customer support.

Don't make the mistake of thinking all labor poster providers are alike, however. Inexperienced poster companies often fail to deliver on their compliance promises - or mislead you with non-mandatory posting changes.

"Complying with labor law posting regulations requires understanding the nuances of the laws, and that often calls for interpretation by an attorney," says Ashley Kaplan, compliance attorney with G.Neil. Qualified poster providers like G.Neil employ labor law attorneys and legal experts to properly interpret every regulatory change and make sure the posters they sell are 100% compliant at all times.
