Attention Restaurant Owners: Do You Think Heat Safety Compliance is Too Costly? What's more expensive is a $276,425 fine for neglecting safety. Cal/OSHA recently cited an employer for its first-ever citation for serious, willful violations of California’s outdoor heat illness prevention standard. The company failed to provide essentials like water, shade, and heat illness training. Here’s what you need to know: ▪️ Both standards apply: Outdoor heat standards cover patio or outdoor dining areas, while the indoor heat illness prevention standard governs kitchens and indoor spaces. ▪️ Cal/OSHA can issue severe penalties, even for a first offense, if violations are deliberate or knowingly disregarded. Heat safety isn’t just compliance—it protects your business and your team.
