CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill | No. 708 |
Introduced by Assembly Member Quirk-Silva |
February 15, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 6409.2 of the Labor Code, relating to employment.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 708, as introduced, Quirk-Silva.
Occupational safety and health.
The California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 requires a state, county, or local fire or police agency that is called to an accident involving an employee covered by the act in which a serious injury or illness, or death occurs to immediately notify the nearest office of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health by telephone.
This bill would discontinue the requirement that the notification be made by telephone.
