California AB1181 amends the Labor Code to mandate safer personal protective equipment (PPE) for firefighters. It requires the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board to review and modify safety orders for firefighter PPE, ensuring they are free from hazardous substances like PFAS and flame retardants. The bill also mandates that PPE certified for use in California be free of these hazardous substances. The Division of Occupational Safety and Health must report on the progress of implementing these safety standards by July 1, 2026.
