The California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved their new indoor heat worker protections on July 23rd, which apply to most indoor workplaces, such as restaurants, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
The rules require employers to provide water, rest, cool-down areas, and training. When temperatures reach 87°F, employers must implement work-rest schedules and provide personal heat protective equipment, where feasible.
This temperature is knocked down to 82°F when workers wear clothing that restricts heat removal or if they work in high radiant heat areas.
