Cal/OSHA Standards Board unanimously adopted the COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Rule requiring, among other things, employers to implement and maintain a written COVID-19 Prevention Program, provide employees with PPE, and offer COVID-19 testing at no cost to all employees (during working hours) who had potential COVID-19 exposure in the workplace. After reviewing the proposed regulation, the Office of Administrative Law approved Cal/OSHA’s COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Rule, making it effective immediately. While Cal/OSHA hinted there would be delayed enforcement, the agency has not yet made any clear public statements. Employers are advised to meet the requirements of the rule at this time and document efforts towards compliance in any area where compliance is not yet feasible. | More

During the October 1 California Transportation Permit Advisory Council (CTPAC) meeting, Caltrans presented their Draft Transportation Permit Manual Memorandum (TPPM) for their “Virtual Vehicle Inspection” policy change. The TPPM policy converts the vehicle inspection procedures from field inspection to virtual inspection (remote inspection); however, it will not make any changes to extralegal vehicle or load transportation permit eligibility. After receiving and reviewing comments from industry, Caltrans has adopted the Virtual Vehicle Inspection proposal and it is now an official policy of Caltrans. | TPPM | Caltran's website

Goodyear Tire Management - Friday, December 11; 10-11am
Presented by CTA Executive Circle Club Partner
Think of traditional tire management. Your team needs to be in the yard measuring tread depth and pressure by hand, then that data is manually submitted to a report for another team member to finally analyze. What if there were tire monitoring technologies that not only made the tire inspection process easier, but also provided instant, on-demand reporting and alerts? Goodyear will review what tire management means from their perspective, and the different technologies that will care for your tires while allowing you to focus on managing your fleet and business operation. | Register
