SAN RAMON, CA — AUGUST 25, 2011/ In response to Cal/OSHA's requirements for employers to have an "Indoor Heat Stress Policy," HRI has developed both a policy to be added to your Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), and a one hour training presentation for managers and supervisors, which is also required by Cal/OSHA.

Applicable employers who have employees working in rooms or in confined circumstances include:

• Restaurant kitchens and other heat producing areas;
  
• Warehousing;
• Storage;
• Confined spaces;
  
• Unconditioned work spaces; and
