SF State has developed a Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) that includes steps to protect employees working outdoors from heat illness with water, rest, shade and training. Cal/OSHA's Heat Illness Prevention regulation applies to all outdoor places of employment such as those in the agriculture, construction, and landscaping industries, as well as other field work that is part of university academic, maintenance, and research activities.
Scope
This program applies primarily to employees who work outdoors on campus properties or university business.
