With an excessive heat warning already in effect, Cal/OSHA says their crews are out performing inspections unannounced, making sure workers have the protections to keep themselves safe.
"I mean it's alright, as long as you drink a lot of water and take your breaks on time, it's not too bad," Jair Mendez, a worker at the Brentwood Auto Spa said.
"Which is where we have inspectors from their respective district offices literally hop in their car and drive around to areas where they think there's outdoor work activities going on and making sure those workers have the protections to keep them safe," David Hornung, Heat and Agriculture Program coordinator for Cal/OSHA said.
In the North Bay, the quest to keep cool is creating an air conditioning boom of sorts, with more homeowners ready to pay the price for air-cooled comfort. And with extreme heat on the way, technicians are busy."It'll be a little tough because I work outside, I'm a home health nurse and I go see patients at their homes," said Kulwinder Gill from Santa Rosa.
"These guys are installing an air conditioning unit for a customer right before the heat wave," said Matt McDonald.
