2:45 – 3:45 – Heat Regulations and Water Leaks: Complying with New CalOSHA Regulations and fixing the water wasters by Richard Young from Frontier Energy

This session covers two different commercial kitchen challenges: high heat environments and the many kitchen water wasters that can be readily fixed. The first half explains the newly adopted CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations. These regulations are meant to protect kitchen workers but, they also apply to equipment service professionals who might be working in those kitchens. Learn the details of these new regulations, how to help operators lower kitchen temperatures, and how to come into compliance with these laws. Likewise, new California laws require that all water utilities follow strict conservation guidelines in both dry and wet years – which could impact water costs. The second half of the class provides training on how to spot and mitigate common water-wasting leaks and wasteful operating practices in kitchens and dishrooms.
