Cal/OSHA publications are now only available by download or, they may be picked up at a Cal/OSHA office if the publications are available. Please check with the Cal/OSHA office first because quantities are limited. All workplace postings can still be ordered from www.dir.ca.gov/wp.asp .

Cal/OSHA Consultation eTools - Electronic products for safety and health are available from www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/etools/etools to assist employers and employees. Cal/OSHA Consultation Service recognizes the value of providing information through the internet and other formats. Included are eTools with Action Kits (consisting of various practical multi-media products such as videos, Cds, publications, or Powerpoint presentations).

To view any of the publications, click on your preferred format following the title (html, Acrobat pdf, MS Word, MS Excel). Before you download a publication, first note the file size, page length, and the format. Larger publication files, like those with many pages and photos, will download more slowly depending on your Internet connection speed. Some formats are more suited for professional printing than others.

For questions regarding publications, please contact your local area office.
