California OSHA 2025–2026 High-Hazard Industry List

High-Hazard Industry List

On October 1^st, 2025 California Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (Cal OSHA) High Hazard Unit (HHU) released its updated High-Hazard Industry List for Fiscal Years 2025–2026. The annual list identifies industry sectors across California that have experienced elevated rates of workplace injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work, restricted duty, or job transfer (DART). Listed industries have DART rates that significantly exceed the state’s private-sector average.

From our experience, those industries identified on the High-Hazard Industry list are targets for Cal OSHA inspections and enforcement activity.

Dart Rates

Annually, Cal OSHA analyzes injury and illness data from employers across the state to determine which industry sectors have the highest rates of serious injuries. The key metric used in this evaluation is the Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred, known as the DART rate. This is a standardized indicator of how frequently workers experience injuries or illnesses severe enough to cause lost workdays, restricted job duties, or transfers to different positions. The DART rate is calculated using the formula:

DART Rate = (Number of DART Cases × 200,000) ÷ Employee Hours Worked

The constant “200,000” represents the total number of hours worked by 100 employees annually (40 hours per week × 50 weeks × 100 employees). This allows Cal OSHA to normalize the rate across industries of varying sizes.

For this period, the private sector average DART rate was 2.0. Industries with DART rates greater than 200% of the average (or above 4.0) are designated as high hazard and may be targeted for Cal OSHA programmed inspections

High-Hazard Industry List

This list provides an overview of sectors where injury prevention efforts are most needed. Several industries stood out under Fiscal Year 2025’s list for having rates more than double the state average, including:

These elevated DART rates indicate that workers in these sectors experience a higher frequency of injuries and illnesses severe enough to cause lost or restricted workdays.

What This Means for Employers

Those under the High-Hazard Industry list do not conclusively indicate poor compliance. However, there is a potential for increased Cal OSHA attention and programmed inspections targeting facilities within these sectors.

Employers with California operations in affected industries should:

• Review their Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) for completeness and alignment with Title 8 CCR §3203.
• Evaluate recent incident and near-miss trends to identify recurring hazards.
• Conduct targeted safety training and refresher programs for employees in high-risk areas.
• Verify proper recordkeeping on OSHA Form 300, 300A, and 301 logs.
• Engage safety consultants or internal auditors to proactively assess site-specific risks.

Why This Matters to Our Clients

This announcement is particularly relevant for clients with operations in the state of California, where Cal OSHA maintains one of the most robust and active enforcement programs in the country. Facilities falling within a listed NAICS code may experience increased inspection likelihood, particularly if they report recent injury cases or have limited safety documentation on file.

Updates to the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, the most commonly used standard of global carbon accounting, is evolving. For the first time in over a decade, the GHG Protocol organization, which is a partnership between the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), is starting to revise how organizations calculate and disclose GHG emissions. These initial updates focus on the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance document. This guidance is incorporated into the Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard by reference. Scope 2 emissions are those tied to the energy companies purchase from utilities rather than generating the energy themselves. Because electricity markets and renewable energy products have evolved significantly in recent years, the GHG Protocol is updating its guidance to reflect these changes. These changes are the start of a broader effort to bring harmony between the GHG Protocol and International Standard Organization (ISO) standards which have recently announced a strategic partnership. This blog will outline the changes to the GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance document and how this will affect carbon accounting moving forward.

What Are Scope 2 Emissions?

Scope 2 emissions encompass the indirect emissions of purchased electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. These emissions do not include GHG emissions generated from a company’s own operations or vehicles.  Accurately reporting this data helps organizations make smarter energy purchase choices, where to source power, where to improve efficiency, and where their actions can make the biggest difference.

There are currently two different calculation methodologies for calculating Scope 2 emissions:

• Market-based Methodology: This calculation methodology reflects the emissions from the specific energy contracts with a company and includes any renewable energy credits (REC) in the contracts.
• Location-based Methodology: This calculation methodology reflects the average emissions from the local electricity grid and does not include RECs.

What’s Changing in the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance Document?

The proposed updates aim to bring the GHG Protocol up to speed with the rapidly transforming grid, markets overflowing with RECs, and businesses under mounting pressure to tell a clearer climate story and to better align with ISO 14064 standards.

Key updates include:

• Location-based method emissions factor hierarchy
• Market-based method updates
  • Hourly matching and deliverability of contractual instruments used in the market-based method
  • Standard Supply Services (SSS) guidance
  • Residual mix emissions factors

The updates to location-based method emissions factor hierarchy add the “use of most precise location-based emissions factor accessible for which activity is also available” as a requirement. Accessible in this context means publicly available data that is free. This update would require companies to select an emissions factor that is the most “precise” to their area and activity data. For example, if there is an option between a national and local emissions factor the local emissions factor should be selected since it is the most precise data for the local grid. If there are emissions factors provided on an hourly and annual basis, a company should select the hourly factor since it is the most “precise,” but only if the activity data (e.g., electricity consumption) is also provided on the same cadence.

The goal of the updates to the market-based methods is to better align the GHG reduction claims with climate action as well as reduce the risk of double counting. In the revisions, any contractual instruments such as virtual power purchase agreements (VPPA) or RECs would be subject to hourly matching. Hourly matching is used to align a company’s clean energy purchases with its electricity consumption on an hourly basis rather than an annual basis. Accessibility to data at this frequency can be difficult, so the revisions allow companies to use load profiles to calculate these emissions retroactively and not in real time. There will be an exemption for smaller companies that do not have the capacity for this type of calculation, with the exact exemption to be determined after the public comment period.

There will also be bounds or limits on what electricity is considered to be plausibly part of the grid serving the company depending on where it is located. This will revise the current boundaries from being national borders to now being based on market boundaries, since some grids reach across national borders.

Under the current GHG Protocol, there was no detailed rule around Standard Supply Services (SSS). The goal of the SSS guidance is to ensure transparency of clean energy credits and prevention of double counting of these credits across multiple organizations. An entity purchasing clean energy from a utility provider can now only take credit for their proportional share of the clean energy. If a company wants to have more clean energy produced it must purchase additional clean energy credits.

The final revisions to the standard updates the residual mix emissions factors usage. This is to also avoid double counting of clean energy credits in the emissions factors and in contractual agreements. These revisions to the GHG Protocol guidance would eliminate the option to use grid-average emissions factors when no residual mix is available. When calculating market-based emissions, this must remove all claimed clean energy credits from the emissions factor. If there is no factor with the claimed clean energy credits removed, then a company will need to assume all the energy came from fossil fuel sources. This is to improve accuracy and transparency when disclosing information about energy sources and purchases.

Please note that all of these revisions are subject to change during the public comment period and are not considered final at this point.

How Could This Affect Companies’ GHG Goals?

For companies with active reduction plans or net-zero targets that utilize clean energy credits, these updates could shift how progress is calculated and communicated in the future. Organizations that rely heavily on RECs, for instance, may see changes in how their reductions are represented.

Potential impacts include:

• Changes in future Scope 2 emission totals based on revised rules
• More credibility of clean energy claims
• Reevaluation of clean energy credits for GHG emissions reduction pathways

This may be of concern for some companies that currently have clean energy credit or VPPA contractual agreements, but the GHG Protocol is proposing to have a legacy clause that would allow Scope 2 emissions reductions from existing contractual agreements to be properly recognized. This again will not be finalized until after the public comment period.

The alignment with ISO standards could simplify what has long been a tangled web of overlapping sustainability frameworks. A more unified approach means fewer redundancies, less confusion, and a clearer path toward credible, science-based progress. Overall, the goal is not to penalize companies but to improve comparability, reliability, and integrity in emissions reporting across the global economy.

What’s Next?

The GHG Protocol team has opened public comment until January 31, 2026. This allows for businesses, academia, policymakers, and sustainability professionals around the world to provide feedback on the proposed revisions. This open dialogue will shape the next evolution of the standard, with final updates expected in late 2027, but there is expected to be a phased approach with the implementation to ease reporting burdens. In the meantime, companies should begin:

• Reviewing current Scope 2 reporting processes
• Evaluating the role of RECs and renewable procurement programs
• Assessing data sources for completeness and quality
• Considering how updated guidance may affect targets and disclosures
• Ensuring contracts have clauses about the precision of the data provided
• Consider commenting on the standards to make them more appropriate for specific needs

It would be wise for companies to look inwards, reviewing their reporting process, understanding how their data is sourced, and identifying where these updates might ripple through their systems. Those that start preparing now will be better positioned for a smoother transition later.

The GHG Protocol Scope 2 updates signal a major milestone in the evolution of global climate reporting. By strengthening data quality, aligning methodologies with ISO standards, and clarifying renewable energy accounting, these revisions aim to create more transparent, credible, and globally consistent foundation for GHG disclosures. Climate reporting is no longer just about what is emitted, it’s about how we account for it, how we learn it, and how we build trust through transparency. Change always comes with adjustment, but in this case, it feels like progress.

2025 WQSM Seminar Insights

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) recently hosted the 2025 Water Quality and Stormwater (WQSM) Seminar, which brought together consultants, agency staff, and other stakeholders to discuss current challenges and program updates within the Water Quality Division (WQD). The seminar provided a detailed look at ongoing rulemakings, workload trends, permitting priorities, and new initiatives related to wastewater and stormwater.

Organization Changes and Staffing

On September 1^st, 2025, structural changes were implemented in the WQD to support growing program areas. WQD’s Permitting Section was reorganized into two sections: Industrial Wastewater and Domestic Wastewater. Additionally, an Oil and Gas Permitting Team was created under the Industrial Wastewater Section. The WQD also recruited new staff members to address this new workload distribution.

Despite these efforts, the WQD continues to face staffing pressures after a 25% turnover rate in the past year; this was after salary increases and other retention measures were implemented.

Workload and Application Trends

WQD’s workload continues to remain a challenge due to the large number of Treated Wastewater Discharge Permit (TPDES) applications in recent years:

• Fiscal Year (FY) 2022: 50 applications received
• FY2023: 80 applications received
• FY2024: 70 applications received

The mix of applications being sent to the WQD is something to note. One part of the mix is coastal desalination projects, which were touched on in the seminar due to their technical complexity and extensive modeling; for instance, sometimes weeks of water modeling are required, particularly for diffusers.

Additionally, domestic wastewater discharge applications have tended to accumulate, creating a review surge that can affect the permitting process timeline.

Growing Public Interest

There has been an increase in public engagement on water quality permits. Some of these trends include an increase in the quantity and complexity of comments during public notice periods and higher attendance at public meetings. The number of contested case hearings has more than doubled, growing from 14 in 2024 to 30 in 2025. This can impact the permitting process for clients by increasing the timeline and adding legal preparation costs.

Modeling and Review Challenges

Water quality modeling causes delays in permitting and was identified as a major challenge in the permit review process because there has been an increase in the complexity and quantity of applications.

In order to aid in this challenge, WQD is evaluating the third-party modeling option that could allow third parties to perform the required modeling for permitting, while TCEQ would review those modeling efforts. This would increase review efficiency and result in a more timely processing of TPDES applications.

Other Important Program Requirements

WQD reiterated a few policy and program requirements during the seminar including:

• Regionalization: A requirement where new domestic discharges must evaluate whether existing treatment plants in a defined radius can accept their wastewater discharge. This helps prevent a cluster of discharges.
• House Bill (HB 3333): Discharges are prohibited in certain river segments and drainage areas. The enrolled version of this bill can be found here.
• Treated Produced Wastewater: Applications for treated produced wastewater discharges are authorized through the Railroad Commissions of Texas (RRC) and coordinated with TCEQ under 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §7.117 (Memorandum of Understanding between RRC and TCEQ).

Legislative and Rulemaking Updates

TCEQ also provided updates on several bills that have been passed or are being considered in recent legislative sessions including:

• Authority granted to TCEQ for land application of produced water
  • TCEQ was granted the authority to issue permits for land application of produced water from mining and oil and gas extraction operations through Senate Bill (SB) 1145.
  • This applies to permits filed on or after September 1, 2025, and the enrolled version of the bill can be found here.
• Fast-tracking of liquefied natural gas export terminals
  • TCEQ implemented an expedited review process for applications to construct or modify liquefied natural gas export terminals and authorizes an additional expedited fee for applicants through SB 2037.
  • This applies to permits filed on or after September 1, 2025, and the enrolled version of the bill can be found here.
• Restrictions placed on general permit coverage for discharging waste
  • Facilities are restricted from applying for or maintaining coverage under general permits for discharging waste into or adjacent to Texas waters if the commission denies or suspends discharge under a general permit under SB 1302. Existing coverage could be suspended until compliance performance improves.
  • This applies to permits filed on or after September 1, 2025, and the enrolled version of the bill can be found here.
• General permits prohibited for high-level radioactive waste storage
  • TCEQ is prohibited from issuing general permit coverage for facilities engaged in storage of high-level radioactive waste through HB 4112. The agency will update applicable general permits to reflect this.
  • This applies to permits filed on or after September 1, 2025, and the enrolled version of the bill can be found here.
• Updates to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and commercial fertilizer definitions
  • New definitions for PFAS and amendments to the definitions of commercial fertilizer to include biosolids were proposed in SB 886.
  • This bill did not pass, but the introduced version can be found here.
• Updates to design criteria for domestic wastewater treatment systems and subsurface area drip disposal systems (SADDS)
  • Updates to Chapter 217 were proposed including requirements for treatment processes, definitions, and standards for new technologies.
  • Updates to Chapter 222 were proposed including design criteria for SADDS and ensuring upstream treatment units meet Chapter 217 standards.
  • 2026 is the proposal target.
• Updates to implementation procedures (IPs)
  • Updates to TCEQ’s Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (RG-194) were proposed including definitions, human health criteria permit limits, temporary standards, and bacteria criteria.
  • 2026 is the proposal target.

Oil and Gas Wastewater Permitting

Updates to the framework on managing discharges of treated, produced water were provided at this seminar. Produced water volumes are enormous because with every barrel of oil produced, there are approximately seven barrels of water generated. Because Texas produces about four million barrels of oil every day, that means there are over one billion gallons of water produced daily. Given Texas’s projected six-million-acre-foot water shortage by 2026, treated produced water could help with water management solutions.

Permitting for produced water discharges differs between the water-rich east and the arid west of the 98^th meridian in the United States. Currently, however, there is limited produced water being discharged to surface water as most of it is being reinjected using wells. To expand downstream water availability, TCEQ is developing a permitting pathway to encourage and streamline produced water discharges to surface waters within watersheds. Proposed updates to the permitting pathway around produced water discharges include:

• Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET): Being established “in reverse,” meaning limits are being established before extensive discharge data collection.
• Tiered Discharge Volumes: Initial discharge volumes will start at around 300,000 gallons per day (GPD), with a potential increase up to 1 million GPD after six months of demonstrated compliance. This allows for an iterative evaluation of environmental impacts on surface water.
• Treatment Requirements: Treatment trains will be required to remove/treat pollutants such as metals, naturally occurring radioactive metals (NORM), and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOC/SVOC).
• No Dilution or Mixing: Discharges where effluent flow may exceed the receiving water flow will be required to operate without dilution or mixing.
• Non-Compliance Reporting: Persistent or consecutive non-compliance events with trigger corrective action plan (CAP) requirements.

Upcoming Milestones

• Draft Texas Multi-Sector General Permit (TXR050000): Published November 14^th, beginning a 30-day public comment period. A public meeting will be held on December 15^th in Austin, Texas.
• Design Criteria for Domestic Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Proposed updates will be released in Spring 2025.

Waste Compliance Fundamentals for Data Centers

Data Centers are hardware-intensive, fast-evolving operations with regulated materials moving through them every day. Some of the more common compliance risks arise from the wastes they generate: electronic waste (including printed circuit boards); batteries; coolants and oils, such as propylene glycol and transformer oil; and contractor-managed materials. Organizations can mitigate risk through comprehensive physical asset management, robust contractor work-plan evaluations, and vendor alignment with federal and state regulatory frameworks.

Electronic Waste (E-Waste):

Rapid refreshes (e.g., servers, cooling gear, printed circuit boards) generate waste streams that can pose a hazard to the public or the environment if not managed appropriately. Federal regulations allow for many exemptions from the solid waste requirements, such that the generator manages the material properly. As an example, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(14) classifies shredded printed circuit boards sent for recycling as excluded from the solid waste definition, provided they are stored to prevent releases and all mercury-containing components and nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or lithium batteries are removed for separate recycling or disposal, and that removal is documented before shredding.

States can manage waste more strictly than what Federal rules require, creating variability in requirements for data centers. California classifies numerous e-waste items as a special classification subject to particular handling obligations. The state oversees the disposal of “covered electronic devices” pursuant to the Electronic Waste Recycling Act (EWRA). The program, enacted in 2003, is administered by CalRecycle and mandates compliance with specific procedures for notifications, waste management, and reporting. New York’s Department of Conservation (NYSDEC) modernized its Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse rules in 2022, strengthening manufacturer take-back responsibilities. These state-specific programs shape what facilities can store and ship and often restrict landfill disposal while encouraging proper management of materials through recycling.

Batteries:

Federally, most batteries can be managed as Universal Waste (40 CFR Part 273), simplifying labeling and accumulation, as long as the batteries remain intact. Although batteries can be shipped and disposed of as Universal Waste, they are still considered hazardous. Universal wastes are considered hazardous because they can harm human health and the environment if not handled properly. The universal waste category was established to simplify the collection, management, and recycling of these waste materials for businesses and households.

The handling of hazardous materials is regulated under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)’s Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR 171 through 180). These regulations provide handlers with a guide for safe packaging requirements for hazardous materials. As the amount of materials increase along with their hazardous properties, the packaging requirements also become stricter. The packaging for damaged, defective, or recalled (DDR) lithium batteries can be found under 173.185(f), as well as guidance from recent PHMSA interpretations. In California, AB 2440 (Responsible Battery Recycling Act of 2022) on battery stewardship and SB 1215 (Covered Battery-Embedded Products) are phasing in producer programs and fees. As states roll out battery extended producer responsibility (EPR), facilities can expect evolving take-back options through original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and state programs. These programs aim to lower disposal costs but require enrollment with approved vendors and maintain the strict shipping and packaging requirements by DOT.

Propylene Glycol Coolants/Antifreeze:

Data Centers that generate waste spent propylene glycol (PG) or dielectric fluids are responsible for properly characterizing these waste streams under federal and local hazardous waste regulations, often using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)-approved methods such as the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) to determine if they exhibit toxicity. Effective waste characterization through the review of analytical results, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), or process knowledge is key in maintaining a safe, clean work environment and preventing unnecessary accumulation of materials and waste. Mischaracterizing the waste can lead to U.S. EPA violations and while transport, disposal, and recycling companies may perform their own analyses, the generator of the waste retains primary responsibility for accurate waste characterization.

Coolants and antifreeze, typically used in engines, often contain metals and additives that may push them into the “hazardous waste” category under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Even if a waste stream determination shows non-hazardous, it is important to maintain the waste analysis results and re-test after chemical or process changes.

State nuances include: California frequently treats used antifreeze and coolants as state-hazardous; Washington regulates spent antifreeze as dangerous waste unless properly recycled, which can reduce generator counts; Massachusetts requires generator determinations and encourages recycling with periodic checks. Oregon, Colorado, and New York’s aggressive e-waste frameworks often coincide with closer scrutiny of coolants during decommissions.

Generator Responsibility:

Under RCRA’s cradle-to-grave system, the generator (by site) is responsible, even when contractors create waste on facility property. Tighten contracts to assign removal and manifest authority and manage any contractor-left drums within on-site accumulation standards according to your facility’s hazardous waste generator category.

Compliance Recommendations:

• Use universal waste rules where allowed;
• Remove batteries and mercury components before printed circuit board shredding;
• Maintain current lab-backed profiles for PG and other coolant fluids, using closed-loop recycling when available;
• Vet transporters and recyclers for permits and financial assurance; and
• For lithium shipments, follow 40 CFR 173.185, treating DDR units as a distinct risk operationally.

If you have any questions about waste-related requirements at your data center or the actions your facility should take next, please contact me at ccodington@all4inc.com. ALL4 is available to assist with waste evaluations, program enhancements, and any other environmental compliance needs your facility may have.

A Presidential Exemption for the Coke Ovens Rules

ALL4 has covered the amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (PQBS) and Coke Oven Batteries (COB) at 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts CCCCC and L in previous articles. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) published final amendments to the NESHAP for Coke Ovens in the Federal Register on July 5, 2024 (Coke Ovens Rules). The revisions are a result of the Clean Air Act (CAA) mandated risk and technology review (RTR) for PQBS and the technology review for COB and they address previously unregulated hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and HAP emissions sources. Approximately 70% of steel is made from metallurgical coke; the coke industry is therefore seen as vital to building and maintaining critical infrastructure and military readiness. On November 21, 2025, President Trump made a proclamation that provides “regulatory relief for certain stationary sources to promote American coke oven processing security” (Proclamation). The Proclamation made 11 facilities exempt from compliance with certain requirements of the Coke Ovens Rules for a period of two years beyond the relevant compliance dates.

The basis of this exemption relieves severe burdens on the coke production industry from compliance with standards premised on the application of emissions-control technologies that do not yet exist in a commercially demonstrated or cost-effective form. The timeline to implement testing and monitoring was deemed an unacceptable risk that threatened facility closures, production halts, and lasting harm to the domestic coke production industry that would lead to national security issues including substantially impacting the local and national economy.

Six of the 11 facilities received extensions for the following requirements of the Coke Ovens Rules:

• Fenceline monitoring, root cause and corrective action, and related reporting requirements;
• Limits on leaks from coke oven battery doors, lids, and offtakes and related reporting requirements; and
• New Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) and work practice standards for coke oven pushing and battery stacks and related performance testing and reporting requirements.

The original compliance date for the fenceline monitoring and limits on leaks requirements was July 7, 2025. The Proclamation extends compliance with those requirements to July 7, 2027. Facilities may have started to implement monitoring or leak limit calculations but could have been experiencing issues implementing the required effort for each. The Proclamation was issued prior to the date that any reporting requirements were due to be submitted. Compliance with the MACT and work practice standards has been extended from July 7, 2027 to July 7, 2029.

Five of the 11 facilities received extensions (from July 7, 2027 to July 7, 2029) for the following requirements of the Coke Ovens Rules:

• MACT numeric emissions limits for existing sources;
• Opacity limits for bypass/waste heat stacks on existing sources;
• Initial performance test requirements; and
• Method 303A and daily pressure monitoring.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY FACILITY?

If you were one of the 11 facilities associated with this Proclamation, your facility now has an additional two years (or actually 19 months as the two-year extensions are retroactive from past compliance dates in some cases) to comply with the Coke Ovens Rules. This should be seen as extra time to plan your compliance approach and implement compliance strategies.

HOW CAN ALL4 HELP?

As your facility advances closer toward implementation of the Coke Ovens Rules, ALL4 can assist with MACT determinations, performance testing, monitoring assistance for opacity or pressure, and fenceline monitoring. We can also help with strategy around implementation of the many other requirements U.S. EPA has added to the NESHAP (e.g., new standards, electronic reporting, and removal of startup/shutdown/malfunction exemptions). For more information on the Coke Ovens MACT requirements please contact Dustin Snare at dsnare@all4inc.com / 610.422.1126. Please do not hesitate to reach out for assistance!
