Employee Occupational Health and Safety

The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of providing a safe and healthy work environment for all employees, and reasonable benefits for those injured on the job.

The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce therefore supports:

1. Illness prevention programs and safety plans that are up to date and pertinent to the work environment where risks are minimized and safe procedures emphasized;

2. Requirements that are placed on employers should reflect contemporary industry standards and practices and should not place undue financial burdens on employers without adequate local, state, or federal funding;

3. Efforts to improve the worker’s compensation program in California and to reduce costs and abuses of the system.

The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce further believes that prior to any new legislation or regulation that mandate business owners comply with new health and safety standards (i.e. Cal OSHA), businesses should be given adequate time to implement solutions.
