Outdoor workers, watch for signs of heat illness like dizziness, headache, nausea, muscle cramps, and heavy sweating. Confusion, fainting, or hot and dry skin can mean heat stroke, so call 911 right away.
California law requires employers to provide fresh water, shade, cool down breaks, and heat safety training. You have the right to speak up about unsafe conditions without fear of retaliation.
If you got sick or were injured from heat exposure on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.
