New Hot Weather Emergency Regulations Will Affect California Construction Sites
SACRAMENTO -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed emergency regulations that will affect many of California's more than 290,000 licensed contractors. Yesterday, the Governor outlined the proposal, which covers all Californians who work outdoors. That includes highway workers, farm workers, landscapers and construction workers. He's urging the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) Standards Board to adopt these regulations at a special meeting August 12. He's also asking that all employers implement the regulations immediately.
