  • Cal/OSHA's Standards Board proposed changes to the draft indoor heat illness prevention standard on November 9, 2023.

  • Influenced by feedback from the August 2023 15-day comment period, these modifications face a second 15-day comment period until November 28, 2023.

  •  Proposed adjustments include exceptions for specific indoor heat exposure scenarios, removal of a provision aligning certain indoor spaces with the outdoor heat illness standard, and the elimination of a requirement for compliance solely with the indoor standard for employees transitioning between indoor and outdoor work.

  •  The Standards Board is expected to vote on the regulation in Q1 2024, aiming for implementation by summer 2024.
