Where and when does Title 8 CCR 3395 apply?

This standard applies to all outdoor places of employment. In addition, the following industries are subject to additional requirements in high heat (over 95°F or above):

• Agriculture,
• Construction,
• Landscaping,
• Oil and gas extraction, and
• Transportation and delivery of agricultural products and of construction or other heavy materials (e.g. furniture, lumber, freight, cargo, cabinets, industrial or commercial materials).

Cal/OSHA interprets the standard's provisions to apply at all times when employees work outdoors. Some provisions are triggered at specific times, for instance, the shade requirement described in FAQ “What is considered sufficient access to shade?” and the High-Heat Procedures addressed in FAQ “What are high-heat procedures and what industries are required to comply with Title 8 CCR 3395.”
