Authority members are invited to attend a virtual Risk Managers Roundtable discussion on Code Enforcement Officer Safety Standards on Monday, July 31, from 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Code enforcement officers are charged with enforcing public health and safety laws in cities throughout California. Their enforcement duties include a broad range of laws covering everything from homelessness to substandard housing, mold and lead, pest and animal control, and many other situations in which they face threats, risks, and hazards. State law, Senate Bill 296 (SB 296), requires all public agencies that employ a code enforcement officer to adopt safety standards specific to code enforcement officers that appropriately address their safety exposures.
Attendees are encouraged to bring questions and join the conversation on issues including:
- The wide range of code enforcement officers’ duties and a public agency’s potential liability
- Occupational hazards
- Compliance with SB 296 to include examples
