February ASSP SD Chapter Breakfast
February 11, 2020
7:15 am - 8:45 am
Presentation by Steve Thompson, ARM, COSS on Independent Contractor Legislation: Loss of Employment, and Impact on Safety
In September 2019, the Governor of California signed AB 5. By the time of this presentation the law may be fully enforceable, delayed, or permanently/temporarily stopped by the courts. AB 5 essentially eliminates the use of individual independent contractors (keyword is “individual”) where their offerings may be similar to the services provided by the company they are contracted with. In California this is estimated to negatively impact 1.5 million workers. The presentation will cover:
- Overview of the law, including additional States considering similar legislation
- Rules for evaluating independent contracting relationships.
- The Dynamex ABC test.
- Codification of ABC including nearly 40 haphazard exemptions
- Impact on companies and workers
Presenter Bio: Originally from Massachusetts, Steve traveled the US as a child – visiting 49 States before the age of fourteen. His Dad was a carpenter working on projects across America. After serving in the Air Force as a Medic, Steve settled in San Diego and worked as an Emergency Room Licensed Nurse.
Gravitating towards injury and illness prevention, his work efforts transitioned to safety, risk management, and ergonomics. His first book, written with Dan Hopwood, “Workplace Safety: A Guide for Small and Midsized Companies,” is used by industry and college curriculums. He has served in various corporate risk and safety capacities and taught in the evenings for 20 years as an Adjunct Professor at SDSU. In 2006, alongside Cathi Marx, he started Aspen Risk Management Group with the primary purpose of saving lives, preventing injuries & illnesses, and protecting clients and communities from harm.
