Why you can trust it

Your name goes on this. So does ours.

Built on the actual California rule, reviewed by a CISSP, and revised when the rule changes. You review it. You sign it. It's yours.

Specialists reviewed it

The content in your plan was reviewed by specialists before it was built into the tool. You are not trusting a summary — you are getting text that has been checked against the actual rule.

Built on the rule

Every line maps to California Labor Code 6401.9, not to general boilerplate. A plan built for the actual law, not around it.

It doesn't go stale

Cal/OSHA is writing a broader general industry rule. We watch it. When it changes, we revise your plan and tell you.

Straight answers

Questions people ask.

Cal/OSHA has a free template. Why pay?

The free model is generic boilerplate you still have to tailor and keep current. Ours builds the plan around your actual worksites and people, includes the required log and training, and updates itself when the rule changes.

Who stands behind this plan?

Agate Cybersecurity, based in Denver, Colorado. The plan is built from text mapped directly to California Labor Code 6401.9 and reviewed by specialists in the rule. We keep it current when the law changes, so you are never left holding an outdated document.

What if the law changes next year?

We track the rule and revise the content when it changes. With the Portal subscription your plan stays current automatically. Without it, we notify you and provide the updated version. You are not buying a snapshot.
