WHILE EARTHQUAKE safety training should be a part of any California employer’s safety program, it’s important from a workplace safety perspecÆŸ ve to understand how your employees could be injured during a temblor. While ducking and taking cover are good skills for your employees to reduce the likelihood of injury, one oÅŒ en overlooked area is the dangers of the workplace itself to employees during a quake. Most earthquake-related injuries result from collapsing walls, fl ying glass and falling objects as a result of the ground shaking, or people trying to move more than a few feet during the shaking. Much of the damage in earthquakes is predictable and preventable. While Cal/OSHA does not specifi cally have regulaÆŸ ons to account for quake fall dangers, exisÆŸ ng regulaÆŸ ons and the Injury and Illness Preven- ÆŸ on Standard require employers to evaluate and miÆŸ gate hazards.
