Cal/OSHA's indoor heat illness prevention regulations took effect July 24, requiring employers to implement safety measures when indoor workplace temperatures reach or exceed 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The new rules apply to most indoor workplaces, such as restaurants, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and require employers to provide water, rest, cool-down areas and training when temperatures exceed the threshold. The standard requires employers who have indoor worksites with higher temperatures to take immediate steps to ensure they are in compliance with the new rules.
