Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW), SoCalGas 1.5 CEUs available Summary: This class 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.
