In this podcast, Karen Tynan and Kevin Bland, who are leaders in
our California Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, offer a
wide-ranging and nuanced discussion of abatement—the act of
addressing and curing a hazard identified in a citation. Karen and
Kevin offer practical takeaways related to when the duty to abate
arises, documentation, and trial considerations, with a focus on
the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health's
(Cal/OSHA) approach to abatement. They also cover best practices
that may help employers avoid missteps that could lead to
significant penalties for failure to abate.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
