Cal/OSHA Heat Monitoring Mandates: Workplace Safety & Compliance

On June 20, 2024, California’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board introduced new heat standards for indoor workplaces, requiring employers to take action when temperatures reach 82°F. This new regulation aims to address heat hazards in environments like factories, foundries, kitchens and warehouses that lack air conditioning.

Heat is the leading cause of weather-related workplace deaths. With rising temperatures, it’s crucial for employers to assess and manage indoor heat risks. California’s new regulations mandate proper temperature monitoring to prevent heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
