Message from our CEO - Nancy Lindholm
ENJOY THE CALM BEFORE THE POLITICAL STORM
I hope you can enjoy the holidays and the remainder of 2017. Savor the peace and quiet while you can, because 2018 promises to be a very noisy year.
We will start off the year with what likely will be a special election for Oxnard voters to decide if they want to recall the mayor and three councilmembers.

CAL/OSHA ISSUES NOTICE FOR WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY IN WILDFIRE REGIONS
|
|
|
Cal/OSHA has issued guidance for employers and workers on working safely in conditions with heavy smoke caused by the wildfires.
Smoke from wildfires contains chemicals, gases, and fine particles that can harm health. The greatest hazard comes from breathing fine particles, which can reduce lung function, worsen asthma and other existing heart and lung conditions, and cause coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.
