Are there other regulations that apply to the provision of water?

Yes. The following Title 8 standards apply to the provision of drinking water:

• Construction: 8 CCR 1524,
• Hand labor in agriculture: 8 CCR 3457,
• Mining: 8 CCR 6975, and
• All other places of employment: 8 CCR 3363.

These standards require employers to provide sufficient quantities of drinking water in general in any work environment to which they apply. For employees working in the heat, a minimum of one quart of drinking water per hour must be available to each employee, (e.g., two gallons per employee for an eight-hour shift) to replace water lost by sweating.
