Cal/OSHA has voted to adopt new heat illness prevention standards for indoor workers, despite the objections of state finance officials.

Landmark regulations intended to protect millions of California workers from worsening heat conditions in warehouses and other indoor facilities were left in limbo Thursday after state finance officials objected to the cost of the rules.

'I've personally experienced headaches, nausea, lightheadedness and nosebleeds because of how hot I get when I'm in my workplace conducting the physically demanding duties of my 10-hour work shifts,' Anna Ortega, a member of Inland Empire Amazon Workers United, in San Bernardino, told hearing members. 'We are in constant motion. Throughout the day my shirt is soaked in sweat three to four times,' said Sara Fee, another Amazon worker in San Bernardino.
