COVID 19 Updating!

NCSC COVID Policies

When attending classes in person, NCSC continues to require masking during class. We gather people from all professions, including those who work with vulnerable populations. We do not collect vaccination records, nor does the vaccine prevent the virus from being passes to another person. Masks protect others, and following Cal-OSHA COVID standard, we have chosen to provide more protective protocols to keep everyone safe!

Alert! Close Contacts Redefined - August 17, 2022

Cal-OSHA has adopted the CDPH definition of "close contact" for "exposed groups" in the workplace. ANY group of employees inside a building is considered to share the same airspace for purposes of deciding who would have been exposed.to a COVID 19 case. What this means is that you will look for length of time (cumulative 15 minutes) for everyone sharing the same airspace.

Do You Need NCSC?

How do regulatory agencies affect your business?

Fear of Cal-OSHA or other regulatory action or citation
Locating and interpreting the, literally, thousands upon thousands of pages of regulations
Burdensome amount of time and energy trying to keep up with:

     • Written Programs
     • Compliance with these programs
     • Recordkeeping - When, how, how much?
     • Prevention measures and investigation of accidents, near misses.

The Bottom Line - The cost of injuries and worker's compensation premiums.

Your Responsibility

A core principle in the establishment of California occupational safety regulation, and what provides the real ‘teeth’ in the law, is the California Penal Code’s Title 10 §387 or, Corporate Criminal Liability Act. The Act holds an employer financially and criminally responsible for the imminent dangers in the workplace that are not remedied in a proscribed period of time.

The corporate entity, or manager/supervisor, must -

1 - Be knowledgeable of serious dangers to employees; and,
2 - Correct the danger; and,
3 - Report to the appropriate agency to avoid criminal penalties.
