Government Affairs Update
 
Pursuant to the authority given to the state by TSA, DMV has extended the expiration date for a hazmat endorsement for 180 days for individuals with a hazmat endorsement that expires between March 1, 2020, and the end date of this exemption December 31, 2020, even if the individual did not initiate or complete submission of required information for a security threat assessment of at least 60 days before expiration of the hazmat endorsement. 
 
Note: While DMV has taken action to extend hazmat endorsements, the department will not update driver license records to reflect this extension. For those with expired security threat assessments during this time period, eligible cardholders’ hazmat endorsements remain valid to transport hazardous materials. A message indicating “LICENSE VALID PENDING REVIEW” status has been added to the record of eligible commercial drivers. 
 
Due to this emergency, California law enforcement personnel are asked to honor the exemption mentioned above, accept a record with “license valid pending review” as valid, and are encouraged to exercise flexibility and discretion when reviewing CDL records. Please disseminate this information to all interested persons and agencies within your jurisdiction. | Extension Memo

The Cal/OSHA Standards Board unanimously adopted the COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Rule requiring, among other things, employers to immediately 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. CTA and PCS Safety updated the COVID-19 Illness Prevention Guide & Training Manual to ensure compliance with this component of the regulations. Purchase your copy today.
