The original title is a podcast title about Cal/OSHA serious accident-related citations. Let me rewrite it for a mobile feed.

Short summary

Karen Tynan and Kevin Bland discuss Cal/OSHA serious accident-related citations (SARs), which require a causal nexus between an alleged violation and a serious injury. They cover common scenarios like lockout/tagout, machine guarding, training gaps, and heat illness, plus elevated penalties and settlement challenges after California's 2025 audit of Cal/OSHA. The episode provides practical defense strategies and notes implications for workers' comp, civil litigation, and construction prequalification.
