California
Enforcing First-ever Heat Illness Prevention
Regulations
[Posted 07/24/2008]
California’s Department of Industrial Relation Division of Occupational Safety and Health
(Cal/OSHA) has increased its enforcement of the
US’s first heat illness prevention regulations.
Cal/OSHA has been performing more inspections,
issued more citations, and pursued legal means more
aggressively (e.g., building criminal cases and
issuing stop-work orders to employers who flout the
regulations). Cal/OSHA has also stepped up its
outreach effort, providing on-site consultations,
seminars, and similar events statewide.
