California Air Resources Board

Requires the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CalOSHA), by January 1, 2030, to propose to the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board for its consideration and possible adoption, a standard that protects the health and safety of employees who risk high or prolonged exposure to transboundary pollution, as defined, in outdoor occupational environments. The bill requires CalOSHA to consider identifying an exposure threshold for hydrogen sulfide at which acute or chronic health effects occur to reference in the standards and may consider exposure thresholds for other relevant pollutants. The bill authorizes CalOSHA to develop the standard in consultation with other specified groups, including CARB and local air districts.
