These breaks can be taken at the same time as any meal or rest period. Maryland Requirements The employer must establish a minimum rest period of 10 minutes for every two hours worked if outdoor temperatures reach between 90°F and 100°F, and 15 minutes for every one hour worked if temperatures equal or exceed 100°F. These breaks can be taken at the same time as any meal or rest period. REGULAR INSPECTIONS Frequent safety and health inspections must be conducted to identify and address potential heat hazards before they cause illness. Supervisors should regularly assess workplace conditions, including temperature, humidity and radiant heat sources, and adjust work procedures based on inspection findings and changing heat conditions. California Requirements The employer must regularly measure the temperature and heat index, recording whichever is greater, and maintain records of these measurements. In lieu of this requirement, employers can establish engineering controls to reduce and maintain both the temperature and heat index to below 87°F (or 82°F where employees are wearing clothing that restricts heat removal or work in high radiant heat areas). Alternatively, employers can implement administrative controls to reduce and maintain the temperature to similar thresholds. QUESTIONS?
