📢HR Compliance Reminder: Is Your Workspace 2026 Ready?
February is the time for our annual "Compliance Spring Cleaning." In California, staying on top of these postings isn't just a good habit; it’s the law. To keep our teams safe and our sites running smoothly, we have two major priorities right now.
Here is your quick checklist to stay ahead of the curve:
1️⃣The OSHA 300A Summary📋
FromFebruary 1st through April 30th, all applicable employers must post their annual summary of work-related injuries and illnesses.
✅The Rule:It must be displayed in a visible area where employees congregate (like the breakroom).
✅Pro Tip:Even if you hadzeroinjuries in 2025, you still have to post the form with zeros and a management signature!
✅Electronic Filing:Don't forget that certain employers must also submit this data digitally to OSHA by March 2nd.

2️⃣"Know Your Rights" Notifications✊
Under the latest California requirements, we must ensure every team member is up to date on their workplace protections.
✅The Requirement:By February 1st, provide employees notice regarding certain workplace rights, including the right to have their employer notify a designated emergency contact if an employee is arrested or detained at work.
✅Delivery:You can provide this in person, via email, or via your company portal. The California DIR has a pamphlet in several languages you can download and use.
✅The Goal:Transparency! A team that knows its rights is a team that feels respected and secure.
