LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law, the Occupational Carcinogens Control Act of 1976, defines carcinogens, and requires the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board to adopt standards for carcinogens pursuant to specified standards. Existing law prescribes civil penalties applicable to violations of standards and special orders regulating the use of carcinogens, including a civil penalty for repeated serious violations of not less than $10,000.
This bill would change the civil penalty for a repeated serious violation of standards and special orders regulating the use of carcinogens to not less than $15,000.
