On February 5, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published the proposed new Emergency Response Standard, and the public has until June 21 to provide comments.

It is important that the volunteer fire and emergency service understand how this rule would impact them and provide their comments to OSHA before June 21.

The proposed rule establishes heat index triggers at 80 and 90 degrees, each with specific employee accommodations and control measures.
