This summer Cal/OSHA is taking a multi-faceted approach to protecting California’s outdoor workers from heat illness that includes a combination of media, education, outreach and enforcement efforts.

The radio and outdoor advertising span much of the state, and are enhanced by educational resources in five languages – Spanish, Hmong, Punjabi, Mixteco and English. Strategically targeting the most underserved population of outdoor workers, the campaign addresses heat safety precautions and worker rights.
