California OSHA Safety Poster Hazard Identification and Safety Measures
All California employers are required to maintain a safe workplace. Making sure the workplace is safe for employees requires proper management of the facilities and operations and ensuring that employees are properly trained and informed of the risks they may face and the appropriate response procedures. The California OSHA Safety Poster communicates to employees health and safety measures specific to their working environment.
Highlights of the California OSHA Safety Poster include the model Injury and Illness Prevention Program, how to render aid to individuals who are choking or not breathing, the California law on workplace safety and health, workplace hazard identification and protection tools, and space to provide contact information for workplace safety custodians. Ensure your workers are informed of and trained in these safety basics.
The California OSHA Safety Poster Includes:
- Access to Medical and Exposure Records – Employers are required to post this notice in the workplace. The notice informs employees of their right to review medical records of their exposure to toxic or harmful substances in the workplace and the location where they can review their medical records.
- OSHA Hazard Communication Standard Pictograms – OSHA uses the international pictograms to represent various chemical dangers. Pictograms are used on Safety Data Sheets, chemical labels, and chemical containers. Employees who are trained to read recognize and handle harmful agents can prevent serious consequences associated with such agents.
- Choking-saving and CPR Emergency instructions – These procedures follow the instructions of the American Red Cross. This poster is recommended for every on-site eating establishment. However, good Samaritan intervention may become necessary in any working environment. Even employees without formal outside training can perform these techniques until help arrives.
- Emergency Numbers – Individuals may not easily recall local service telephone numbers in an emergency. Ensure your employees have a visual reference point for emergency telephone numbers.
- Safety Awareness Training and Safety Meetings – Appointing safety custodians and routinely scheduling safety meetings ensures that your workplace remains safe from ongoing hazards and is prepared for environmental and personnel changes that could affect how your workplace responds emergencies and threats.
- SB-198 Injury & Illness Prevention Program Company Policy Notice
- Hazard Communication Checklist – Ensure your employees understand the hazards presented by chemicals in the workplace and have an easily accessible visual reference tool identifying the protective gear required for each hazard presented.

- Workers’ Compensation Injury Fraud Notice – Employees should understand the types of fraud they may encounter, the gravity of the charge and the seriousness of the consequences. Employees are entitled to report fraud to their employer or to the Department of Insurance directly.
- Safety & Health Protection on the Job – All workplaces are required to post the current Cal/OSHA posting. This posting informs employees of their employers’ and their own rights and responsibilities for workplace safety and health, the special rules that apply to hazardous chemicals, Cal/OSHA inspections, the classification of violations and penalties, and contact information for the nearest Cal/OSHA division location.
