Its innovative and trendsetting approaches to workplace safety are considered the most comprehensive out of the 23 state-administered OSHA programs. However, labor groups criticize the California Standards Board for being anti-worker, and the Cal/OSHA for being pushed too far by political motivation without the proper stewardship of safety professionals and administrators.
