Winter Holidays Décor Safety Regulations

If you plan to decorate campus spaces for Winter Holidays, please comply with the following safety regulations

Extreme heat or heat waves occur when the temperature reaches extremely high levels or when the combination of heat and humidity causes the air to become oppressive.

Hazardous heat exposure can occur indoors or outdoors, and can occur during any season if the conditions are right, not only during heat waves.

Safety & Risk Management facilitates periodic employee training as particular environmental health or safety regulations require. Most health and safety regulations are enacted by federal, state and/or local regulatory agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CALOSHA). Some training is required annually, while other training is mandated within the first year of hire.
