OSHA PROPOSES RULE TO PROTECT WORKERS FROM EXTREME HEAT OSHA has had a National Emphasis Program on heat safety since April 2022. Some states, like Oregon, has already required employers to develop a Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Plan to control and mitigate hazards from excessive heat and are required to provide drinking water, rest break schedule etc. The Department of Labor released a proposed rule Tuesday morning, July 2, 2024. Once published in the Federal Register, the proposed rule on extreme heat will be open to the public for written comments and most likely a public hearing on the rule afterwards. #ehsmanagers #safetyculture #safetyfirst #safetycommunity #safetyleadership #safetyknights #ehscommunity #safety #safetytrainingandbeyond #EHSProfessionals #Construction #ConstructionEnvironmentalHealthandSafety #ConstructionSafetyGroup #OccupationalHealthSafety #AmericanSocietyofSafetyProfessionals #HSEPeople #HealthandSafetyConsultantsandTrainers #OccupationalHealthandSafetyNetwork #HSEKnowledgeSharing #BritishSafetyCouncil #SafetyProfessionals
