May Forum – Heat Illness Prevention Regulation

Join us on Thursday, May 2, where David Hornung, Senior Safety Engineer for Cal/OSHA, will be discussing California’s Heat Illness Prevention Regulation. Starting as an emergency regulation in 2005, California was the first state to adopt a Heat Illness Prevention Regulation to protect outdoor workers. David will cover the history of the regulation, its requirements, and the Court of Appeal’s August 2018 decision covering AC Transit bus operators.
