Indoor Heat Illness

A California law enacted in 2016 directed the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) to adopt workplace standards related to the prevention and mitigation of heat illness for indoor workplaces. Cal/OSHA has nearly completed that directive and the Heat Illness Prevention in Indoor Places of Employment standards took effect in 2024.

This new standard, which applies to all indoor work areas where the temperature equals or exceeds 82 degrees Fahrenheit, is separate and distinct from the Heat Illness Prevention in Outdoor Places of Employment standards that have been in effect for years. Although each set of standards are designed to prevent and mitigate heat illness in the workplace, they are not the same. The indoor workplace standards create different and new requirements that are not found in the outdoor workplace standards.
