The Department of Labor has unveiled a proposed rule aimed at safeguarding millions of indoor and outdoor workers in the U.S. from extreme heat. This new regulation requires employers to establish a Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Plan to manage and mitigate heat-related hazards in the workplace.
Key elements of the proposed rule include the need for employers to assess heat risks and implement measures such as providing drinking water, rest breaks, and controlling indoor temperatures. The rule also mandates specific plans for workers who are not accustomed to working in high heat.
