Members of California’s workplace safety board are questioning the state’s tight-lipped approach to releasing information about COVID-19 workplace outbreaks after reviewing an investigation by this news organization that found most county health departments — as well as the California Department of Public Health — are refusing to make specific outbreak data public.

Members of Cal/OSHA’s Standards Board aired their frustrations with the piecemeal availability of outbreak data statewide — and the haphazard nature of the records themselves — in a meeting of a new subcommittee focused on COVID-19 workplace rules. Although the committee did not take formal action, at least one member has suggested pressing the state to publicize comprehensive data that includes names of employers.
