California SB1046 mandates the creation of occupational safety standards for workers exposed to transboundary pollution.

California SB1046 requires the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to propose a standard protecting employees at high risk of exposure to transboundary pollution in outdoor environments. The standard applies to lifeguards, park rangers, and other employees within a 10-mile radius of the border. The standard may include personal protective equipment, medical surveillance, hazard communication, reporting and recordkeeping practices, and training. The standard must be developed in consultation with various stakeholders, including local agencies and unions.
