More than three years after the state became the first state to open retail cannabis stores, Colorado regulators have unveiled a comprehensive guide to cannabis-industry working conditions. The first-of-its kind document combines industry best practices with existing workplace rules.
The “Guide to Worker Safety and Health in the Marijuana Industry” was created by a working group that included epidemiologists, doctors, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, industry leaders, and regulatory specialists.

“We just felt that we wanted to help the industry and highlight some of the hazards that were unique to the cultivation industry,” said Roberta Smith, occupational health program manager for the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment, which developed the guide.
