Summer in California brings longer days, higher temperatures — and a spike in workplace inspections.

Whether you manage a construction crew, logistics center, agricultural team, or any field-based operation, Cal/OSHA’s seasonal enforcement is already underway. The question is:
Will your site pass inspection?

1. Training Records Are Up to Date

Ensure that all required safety trainings have been completed — especially for new hires or temporary workers.

Common summer trainings include:

• Heat Illness Prevention

• PPE use and maintenance

• Job-specific hazard awareness

With Extraleap’s LMS, you can assign and track all mandatory training automatically.

2. Heat Illness Prevention Plan Is in Place

Title 8, Section 3395 requires employers to protect outdoor workers from heat illness. That includes:

• Providing shade and water

• Allowing rest breaks

• Training supervisors and employees

• Keeping a written Heat Illness Prevention Plan on file

Failure to comply is one of the most cited violations in summer inspections.

3. PPE Is Properly Issued and Documented

Have your employees received the correct personal protective equipment?
Is it documented, up to date, and in line with your IIPP (Injury and Illness Prevention Program)?

4. Emergency Procedures Are Reviewed

Do your workers know what to do in case of a medical emergency or fire?
Make sure your site has:

• A written emergency response plan

• Clear communication protocols

• Regular drills or refreshers

5. Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) Are Current

Cal/OSHA inspectors may ask to review your JHAs — especially if your team is using new tools, machines, or procedures.
These documents must be reviewed and updated regularly.

6. Internal Safety Inspections Are Logged

Have your last inspections been documented?
Are any corrective actions tracked and closed?

Keeping inspection logs updated is key to showing ongoing compliance.

7. Supervisors Know How to Respond

If an inspector arrives, are your site leads prepared?
Make sure supervisors understand:

• What they’re required to provide

• What their rights are

• How to document the visit internally

Time-Sensitive: Prepare Before July

Cal/OSHA inspections increase during summer months — particularly in high-risk industries.
Don’t wait for a fine or citation to act.
