California workplace requirements

Start here for California general-industry work. Applicability and exceptions depend on the workplace and task.

Official model forms

IIPP model and sample records

Examples of hazard-correction, investigation, and training records. This model is for non-high-hazard employers; verify the appropriate model for your industry.

Regulation

Hazardous-energy control

Requirements for covered servicing and related work, written procedures, periodic inspections, and role-specific instruction.

Regulation

Personal protective devices

PPE assessment, selection, and training provisions, including specified certification requirements and scope limits.

Federal OSHA references

Useful federal references. California has its own applicable requirements; the two sets of rules are not interchangeable.

Regulation

Machine guarding

General federal requirements for protecting workers from machine hazards.

Technical guidance

Industrial robot systems

OSHA’s technical discussion of robot-system hazards and risk reduction. Guidance is distinct from a regulation.

NIOSH: choosing effective controls

Use prevention principles when considering how to address a workplace hazard.

Research-based guidance

Hierarchy of controls

Consider elimination, substitution, and engineering controls before relying on administrative controls and PPE.

NIST: AI and connected systems

Use these frameworks where relevant to the actual technology and risks. They do not certify machine safety.

Voluntary guidance

AI RMF Playbook

Suggested actions and documentation practices to help organizations apply the AI RMF in context.

Risk-management framework

Cybersecurity Framework

A common structure for managing cybersecurity risk around connected systems and organizational responsibilities.
