In the event of a serious workplace injury or death, who must you report to in addition to Cal/OSHA?

  1. California Division of Labor Statistics and Research

  2. California Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries

  3. Local police

  4. Nearest Cal/OSHA office

The correct answer is: Nearest Cal/OSHA office

In the event of a serious workplace injury or death, it is essential to report the incident to the nearest Cal/OSHA office in addition to notifying Cal/OSHA itself. This is crucial because the nearest office can provide guidance, resources, and appropriate oversight in the investigation and response to the incident. They ensure compliance with safety regulations, support the affected workers and their families, and help in the overall assessment of the workplace environment to prevent future occurrences. The other options might not directly serve the requirement to report workplace injuries or fatalities as mandated by the law to ensure immediate regulatory attention and potential corrective actions. While local police may be involved in certain circumstances, they may not have the same oversight or regulatory responsibilities as Cal/OSHA. The California Division of Labor Statistics and Research and the California Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries pertain to data and statistics rather than immediate reporting protocols. Therefore, reaching out to the nearest Cal/OSHA office is the most appropriate action to take following such a serious incident.
