On July 24, 2024, the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the proposed indoor heat rule which we previously reported here. The regulation, titled Heat Illness Prevention in Indoor Places of Employment, has taken immediate effect to protect indoor workers from excessive heat and heat-related illness. Employers may access the complete text of the new regulation and related resources through the California Department of Industrial Relations website.
If you have questions surrounding the proposed rule, require assistance drafting legally compliant policies, or would like general guidance about the matters discussed in this issue of Compliance Matters, please call your firm contact at (818) 508-3700 or visit us online at www.brgslaw.com.
