On behalf of the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA)'s CEO Tom Dobbins, please see the Association's comments on OSHA's Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings proposed rulemaking.

Abstract

OSHA is proposing to issue a new standard, titled Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings. The standard would apply to all employers conducting outdoor and indoor work in all general industry, construction, maritime, and agriculture sectors where OSHA has jurisdiction, with some exceptions. It would be a programmatic standard that would require employers to create a plan to evaluate and control heat hazards in their workplace. It would more clearly set forth employer obligations and the measures necessary to effectively protect employees from hazardous heat.
