The Cal/OSHA Standards Board is notoriously lax in setting workplace standards to protect workers from exposures to chemicals, even when they are known to cause cancer and other longterm health impacts. Cal/EPA has identified 68 chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity that are completely unregulated or regulated only for short-term effects (such as dizziness) by Cal/OSHA. AB 815 (Lieber) would require Cal/OSHA to adopt new or revised workplace standards based on the most current health risk assessments.
