Cal/OSHA Updates
Required Workplace Notice
In April 2026, Cal/OSHA updated the “Safety and Health Protection on the Job” Notice to correct contact information for its Santa Barbara and San Francisco district offices without creating new workplace-safety rules.
California employers must post required workplace notices in a conspicuous place at each physical establishment. Failure to meet Cal/OSHA posting requirements can result in civil penalties up to $12,471 per violation.
The updated Notice appears in CalChamber’s California and Federal Employment and Labor Law Poster.
Next Steps:
Take-Away:
Employers should display the updated Cal/OSHA poster or supplemental Notice at each workplace.
