The Cal/OSHA Standards Board adopted a new indoor heat rule on June 20, 2024, mandating compliance for employers by August 1, 2024, to prevent heat illness.
Cal/OSHA's guidance documents include a model written program and FAQs for employers, aiming to facilitate rapid compliance with the indoor heat illness prevention rule.
The new rule targets indoor workplaces with temperatures of 82°F or higher, with specific exemptions such as teleworking and emergency operations outlined clearly.
Employers must implement controls when indoor temperatures exceed 87°F or when workers wear heat-retaining clothing at temperatures of at least 82°F.
