Heat Illness Prevention Plan
Water, shade, cool-down, acclimatization, and high-heat procedures above 95°F.
The regulation that requires it in Nevada
Nevada operates an approved state plan under Nevada OSHA (Division of Industrial Relations). No Nevada-specific heat illness regulation appears in the ontology, so the default citation T8 CCR §3395 applies. This rule requires written procedures for water, shade, cool-down, acclimatization, and high-heat measures above 95°F.
Enforcing agency
Nevada OSHA (Division of Industrial Relations) enforces the plan. The agency inspects workplaces for compliance with state and federal standards and issues citations for violations. It coordinates with federal OSHA on enforcement priorities such as the NEP Heat Illness program.
