California SB1046 establishes occupational safety standards for workers exposed to transboundary pollution in outdoor environments.

California SB1046 mandates the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to propose a standard by January 1, 2030, to protect employees exposed to transboundary pollution in outdoor environments. This standard will apply to lifeguards, park rangers, and other high-risk workers within a 10-mile radius of the border. The proposed standard may include personal protective equipment, medical surveillance, training, hazard communication, and reporting practices. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board will review and consider adopting this standard.
