COURSES AT A GLANCE

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAL/OSHA AND FEDERAL OSHA?

California operates its own workplace safety and health program through Cal/OSHA. Although Cal/OSHA is based on the federal OSHA framework, California has adopted many standards and employer obligations that are more specific or more protective. This means employers operating in California must follow the applicable Cal/OSHA requirements—not rely solely on federal OSHA regulations.

California-specific requirements include a written and effectively implemented Injury and Illness Prevention Program, heat illness prevention standards, state reporting and record keeping rules, and additional requirements addressing particular workplace hazards. Understanding which standards apply is essential because the compliance expectations for California employers may go beyond the federal requirements.
