California is poised to pass the state’s first regulations to protect indoor workers from extreme heat — a policy that could be implemented later this summer. A standards board at the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health voted unanimously on Thursday to approve the new workplace rules. That sends them on to the state's Office of Administrative Law for what is expected to be an expedited final approval, which means the standards could go into effect by early August.
Gavin Newsom’s administration took issue with how much it would cost to get California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in compliance, so the standards were amended to carve out the state prison system. Some worker advocacy groups think the temperature thresholds set in California's policy are still too high.
