Seyfarth Synopsis: On July 24, 2024,
Cal/OSHA's indoor heat rule was approved by the Office of
Administrative Law (OAL) and filed with the Secretary of State
(SOS), rendering the rule effective immediately.
If you've been following our postings, you know that last
month the Cal/OSHA Standards Board voted to approve
Cal/OSHA's indoor heat rule. Before a rule can become
effective, it has to be approved by the OAL and filed with the SOS,
a process which usually takes quite a while. It was known that the
Standards Board requested OAL to expedite its review, but the
regulated community was unprepared for OAL to be as expeditious as
it was. Late yesterday, OAL approved the rule and promptly filed it
with the SOS, upon which the rule was made effective. Cal/OSHA has
not indicated that it will be giving employers any “grace
period” to comply. For details on the requirements on the new
rule, please refer to our earlier blog post:
