California Court of Appeal

Remanded for reconsideration of whether non-air-conditioned buses must comply with occupational-safety standards relating to heat illness prevention. When California regulators issued a citation to a local transit authority for not taking steps to protect bus drivers from heat illness, the transit authority insisted that driving a bus is not outdoor work, leading to a series of appeals. On review, the First Appellate District held that the Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board must reconsider its ruling that driving a bus is not outdoor work subject to the heat illness prevention standards.
