Who must be notified three months prior to a business ending under Cal-OSHA regulations?

The requirement for notifying current affected employers three months prior to a business ending under Cal-OSHA regulations is rooted in ensuring that all relevant stakeholders are aware of significant changes that could impact workplace safety and health. This advance notice allows employers to prepare for transitions, implement necessary safety measures, address potential hazards, or provide necessary training for any new processes that may be involved in the business closure. The rationale is to maintain safety standards and compliance during the wind-down period, thus protecting employees and the environment.

In contrast, while all employees on-site certainly need to be informed about safety changes or disruptions that could arise from a business closure, the specific regulation requires the notification of current affected employers because they have a direct responsibility for the safety and compliance of their workplaces. Local city councils or OSHA representatives, while important in other contexts, are not specified as entities that require this particular notification under Cal-OSHA regulations regarding the closure of a business.
