Citation Received—Now What? A Guide to Timely Cal/OSHA Appeals

In this podcast, shareholders Kevin Bland (Orange County) and Karen Tynan (Sacramento), who is chair of the firm’s Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, discuss the strict 15-working-day deadline for filing Cal/OSHA appeals. Karen and Kevin explain why California’s administrative process offers little room for excuses—unlike civil litigation, there is no excusable neglect doctrine. The speakers share practical tips for avoiding late appeals, highlight common pitfalls such as citations being sent to the wrong address or filed incorrectly, and review a 2025 Appeals Board decision that provides a narrow exception where attorney miscommunication caused an untimely filing.
