Newsom is facing criticism over delays in the state adopting indoor workplace standards to protect workers from extreme heat.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing rebuke from The Los Angeles Times over the state's delayed enactment of indoor workplace standards to protect workers from extreme heat.In 2016, California legislators passed a law that would require employers to provide cool-down areas, water, rest breaks, air conditioning and schedule adjustments to employees if temperatures exceed 82 degrees in indoor work environments.
Advocates say this extreme heat poses a threat to workers inside warehouses that may not have ventilation to prevent overheating.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, extreme heat can pose several dangerous risks including heat exhaustion, rhabdomyolysis, heat syncope, heat cramp or heat rash. It can also cause heat stroke, which can be deadly.
