New Cal/OSHA Chief Ellen Widess is serious about enforcement and is holding no prisoners when it comes to the heat illness regulation. Check out the most recent news release http://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2011/IR2011-13.html.
“Our program will be strategic, focusing on workers at highest risk in outdoor industries such as agriculture, construction, landscaping and locations where we expect to find serious violations. We will be identifying and targeting employers who skirt the law at workers’ expense,” says Widess.
