California’s State Compensation Insurance Fund on Friday named Len Welsh head of workplace safety.
Welsh is charged with directing State Fund’s strategies to advance occupational safety and health in California’s workplaces. He will focus on developing methods for improving safety and health practices, and reducing the rates of workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses, State Fund said.
He currently serves as special counsel to the director of the Department of Industrial Relations and will begin his transition to State Fund at the beginning of the New Year.
Previously, in his roles as chief and special counsel at the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA), Welsh implemented strategies to create safe work practices.
