@AsianDiva - CalOSHA already has new language for 5193 that is industry specific that is being sent to FedOSHA for approval this month.
AB640 is nothing more than political and fundraising grandstanding. No one is going to enforce this just as they dont bother to enforce Measure B in LA County.
CalOSHA is the department that has authority over workplace safety. When Weinstein didnt get the unwavering support he wanted for his pet project from CalOSHA he found Hall and paid him some money. Hall must think this will take him national and keeps trying to pass an unnecessary bill. Most the legislators know its wasteful. I suspect thats why his first one died in committee.
He finally got this one to a vote but Jerry Brown has former ties to the industry so it will be interesting to see what he does with this.
