The Cal/OSHA Standards Board Approves Indoor Heat Illness Regulation
The Cal/OSHA Standards Board approved an indoor heat illness regulation. The new regulation requires indoor workplaces to be cooled below 87 degrees Fahrenheit if feasible when employees are present, and below 82 degrees if feasible in places where workers wear protective clothing that restricts heat removal or work in high radiant heat areas.
Per Senate Bill 553, every workplace is required to have a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan in place. This information needs to be readily available to all employees and from each manager and supervisor. The plan ensures that all employees, including supervisors and managers, adhere to work practices designed to secure the workplace environment.
