California has introduced new regulations to protect workers from indoor heat illness. The rule, passed by Cal/OSHA in June 2024, aims to safeguard approximately 1.4 million employees working in environments such as warehouses, restaurants, and refineries, where temperatures can become dangerously high. This regulation aligns California with states like Oregon and Minnesota, which already have similar protections in place. Employers need to be aware of the new requirements to ensure compliance and protect their workforce from heat-related health risks.
