The California Safety Manual Code of Safe Work Practices: Accident Prevention Rules — better known as the Red Book, has received a comprehensive update.
The Red Book sets the industry standard for safe work practices in Outside Construction. It covers wildfire smoke protocols, PPE, minimum approach distances, silica exposure, helicopter operations, and more. Every employee’s acceptance of employment includes acceptance of these rules, making the Red Book an essential guide for staying safe on the job.
This edition was developed through a Labor–Management agreement between IBEW and NECA representatives, reflecting countless hours of collaboration to keep our industry safer and ensure every worker goes home to their family at the end of the day.
