If you are an employer with employees who work outside, you should be aware of the California Heat Illness Prevention Program and Regulations. These rules not only apply to those who work outside all day, but may also apply to those employees who work both in and outside in a given day. Where employees are spending any significant portion of the day outside, the rules should be complied with to avoid regulatory violations.

The Heat Illness Prevention Regulations address such topics as shade requirements, drinking water requirements, heat illness training requirements and other related matters. Feel free to review the following links, and contact our office if you have further questions in this regard.
