California's Industrial Safety Code

California's system for the adoption of safety regulations requires proposed codes to undergo numerous checks and reviews - reasonable assurance that they will be practical and effective. Within these limitations the Division of Industrial Safety has the authority to promulgate safety codes having the effect of law. The arrangement is effective and provides a degree of flexibility, perhaps not available through formalized legislative action, that allows for prompt revision and updating as necessary.

Preliminary revision work applicable to California's rollover protection regulations for construction scrapers is now in progress.
