SafetyQuestion 558 of 700
At what approximate temperature do Cal/OSHA high-heat procedures (such as extra observation and reminders to drink water) generally take effect?
a.95 degrees Fahrenheit
b.70 degrees Fahrenheit
c.110 degrees Fahrenheit
d.60 degrees Fahrenheit
Explanation
High-heat procedures generally apply at or above 95 degrees Fahrenheit and add measures like effective communication, close observation of new workers, and frequent reminders to drink water. Option b is far too low. Option c would delay protections dangerously. Option d is unrelated to heat risk. The 95-degree trigger layers extra safeguards on top of the basic 80-degree shade requirement.
