In the final episode of our three-part series on California’s new workplace violence prevention law, Karen Tynan (shareholder, Sacramento) and Robert Rodriguez (associate, Sacramento) discuss Senate Bill (SB) No. 553’s recordkeeping and training requirements.

 

In this podcast, Kevin Bland and Karen Tynan discuss skylight fall cases they have handled over the years and the unique issues these cases present for employers. From fall protection standards and due diligence requirements to BOI investigations and potential criminal penalties, this conversation covers a number of considerations for employers to keep in mind regarding skylight incidents. Kevin, a shareholder in Ogletree’s Orange County office, and Karen, who is the West Coast chair of Ogletree’s Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, also discuss the impact these events have on coworkers, post-incident tips, and preventive measures.
