Occupational Health Tests – Sacramento, CA

Sacramento occupational health plans benefit employers by offering their workers a safe, healthy workplace and by helping them maintain compliance with workplace occupational health laws. Employees are entitled to a safe workplace free of recognizable hazards, and it's the responsibility of the employer to ensure workplace occupational health and safety. In Sacramento, occupational health services include proper job training, working and safe equipment and machinery, plus physical examinations, vision and hearing screening, respiratory health screening, tuberculosis (TB) skin testing, vaccinations, and titer testing (antibody testing).

Sacramento occupational health regulations are part of the California State Plan, which was initially approved in 1973. The plan, referred to as Cal/OSHA, is administered through the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and applies to private-sector employers in Sacramento and the state of California, with some exceptions that include maritime workers, contract workers with the United States Postal Service, and Native American reservations, among others. Cal/OSHA offers cooperative and voluntary programs to reduce fatalities, injuries, and accidents in the workplace.

In October of 2020, Sacramento County implemented the Worker Health and Safety Act to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The act applies to businesses located in unincorporated areas of Sacramento County and introduced Sacramento workplace health regulations that include protocols for disinfection, social distancing, and mask-wearing.
