New! Small Business
Safety Training Materials
LOHP has
been working in cooperation with small businesses in California to develop a safety training program that supervisors, managers, and owners can use to train employees.
Small businesses face unique health and safety issues. For example, worker injuries and illnesses result in lost workdays and lost productivity, which are particularly costly for small businesses. One of the best ways to prevent these injuries and illnesses is ongoing health and safety training for employees.
The packet of materials we created
includes a training guide to engage workers in identifying and
controlling hazards in their own workplace, a Safety Orientation Checklist to encourage workers to be aware of hazards, and Tip Sheets on topics of special concern to small businesses. There are also factsheets directed primarily at owners and employers, including an overview of Cal/OSHA and an explanation of how small businesses can benefit from improved safety programs.
All materials are currently available in English. Spanish versions will be available later in 2008. The training program and materials will also be adapted to several specific targeted industries. A version tailored for restaurants is already available (see section below).
The California
Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation
has supplied funding for this program. All materials in the small business packet may be viewed or downloaded in PDF form below.

Safety Training Materials
In conjunction with our small business safety training project (see section above), LOHP has
been working to adapt our small business materials for restaurant
managers, supervisors, and owners. The packet of materials we created
includes the Restaurant Safety Training Guide as well
as factsheets, "tipsheets," and other resources.
The California
Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation
has supplied funding for the program. The restaurant training
materials are available to read or download in English and
