Cal/OSHA is reminding all employers to protect workers from heat illness as high temperatures are forecast throughout the state and the National Weather Service has issued excessive heat warnings for some areas.
“Cal/OSHA will be visiting worksites in agriculture, construction, landscaping and warehousing industries to make sure employers are taking the necessary steps to protect workers” said Cal/OSHA Chief Jeff Killip. “One strategy employers can use as part of their heat illness prevention plan is to start work earlier in the day to avoid the hottest temperatures.”
