Requires the Industrial Commission of Arizona to adopt heat illness prevention standards for employers in agriculture, construction, landscaping, oil and gas extraction, and transportation/delivery of heavy materials.

Mandates employers provide potable water (one cup per 15-20 minutes), access to shade or climate-controlled environments when temperatures exceed 100°F, and cool-down rest periods of 15-45 minutes per hour depending on temperature and activity level.

Requires employers to implement high-heat procedures when temperatures reach 90°F or higher, including monitoring employees for heat illness symptoms, designating personnel to call emergency services, and maintaining communication with staff.

Mandates comprehensive training in workers' native language covering heat illness risks, employer procedures, water consumption importance, acclimatization, and first aid/emergency response procedures.

Allows employees to sue for violations seeking injunctive relief and actual damages or $500 per violation (whichever is greater), and prohibits employer retaliation against workers exercising rights under this section.
