California Indoor Heat Stress

Carmen Cisneros

Carmen Cisneros has served as the Area Manager of the San Diego Cal/OSHA Consultation Services Branch since 2013.  Prior to that, she was an Associate Safety Engineer with Cal/OSHA’s Enforcement Branch.  Carmen has over 19 years of experience in the safety and health field working with various industries including agriculture, construction, landscaping and manufacturing.  As a safety engineer, she worked on high-profile and complex cases.

Cal OSHA recently passed a new regulation for Heat Illness Prevention in Indoor Places of Employment (California Code of Regulations, Title 8, section 3396) that became effective on July 23, 2024.  Carmen Cisneros joins us to explain the fine points of the regulation so that each of us can understand what companies are required to do to address indoor heat exposures.  The presentation will explain what prompted the regulation, when it applies, what it requires, and provide best practices for how to keep employees safe in hot work environments.

We are pleased to announce that this presentation has been approved for 0.1 CEUs!

Our meeting formally begins at 7:30 am.  Check-in opens at 7:00am – be sure to get there early to grab some breakfast, get situated, and have a chance to say hi to people before the meeting kicks off!
