The Office of Self Insurance Plans (OSIP) is responsible for the oversight and regulation of workers' compensation self insurance within California. OSIP is also responsible for establishing and insuring that required security deposits are posted by self insurers in amounts sufficient to collateralize against potential defaults by self-insured employers and groups.
The Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation (CHSWC) is a joint labor-management body created by the workers' compensation reform legislation of 1993. CHSWC is charged with examining the health and safety and workers’ compensation systems in California and recommending administrative or legislative modifications to improve their operation.
CCWC's successful advocacy is rooted in the collective strength of our membership that in turn empowers our individual members to engage and make a difference. On occasion, we look to mobilize our members through Legislative Alerts, asking them to send their comments on a particular issue to their elected representatives, sign on to a letter expressing CCWC's position, or perhaps urging the Governor to sign or veto a particular bill. See some of our previous alerts below.
