Cal/OSHA Sunsets COVID-19 Regulation

Nearly all of the substantive provisions of Cal/OSHA’s non-emergency COVID-19 regulation expired on Monday, February 3, 2025. The event marked a significant end point to the regulatory journey that began on November 19, 2020, when California became the first jurisdiction to enact general workplace regulations specifically addressing COVID-19.  

Employers should continued to remain attentive to their ongoing workplace safety duties.
