Stay out of sweltering heat to avoid temporary disability
This past week, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health urged employers in Riverside and other areas in the Inland Empire to protect employees against the sweltering heat. Expected triple-digit temperatures led to the High Heat Advisory and the potential for temporary disability of workers. Workers who are exposed to temperatures that rise above 100 degrees are at significant risks of suffering heatstroke.

If feasible, exposure to harmful wildfire smoke must be limited by relocating workers to buildings with air-filtering equipment or to outdoor areas where the AQI is safe. If these measures are not possible, employers must provide approved respirators. Although
