CalOSHA urges employers to prepare for sizzling temperatures

CalOSHA urges employers to prepare for sizzling temperatures: "Under the new heat illness prevention regulation, employers are required to take four basic steps to prevent heat illness at all outdoor worksites including developing and implementing written procedures on heat illness prevention, and providing heat illness training to all employees. In addition, they must make water and access to shade or a cool area out of the sun readily available, while encouraging each employee to drink four 8-ounce cups of fresh water per hour. "
