According to Section 3395 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, also known as the Maria Isabel Vasquez Jimenez heat illness standard, employers have a responsibility to ‘ensure that effective communication by voice, observation, or electronic means is maintained so that employees at the work site can contact a supervisor when necessary.’ It’s crucial to ensure that your workers can easily connect with their supervisors for any necessary assistance.
