Hello, the Federation of American Scientists is pleased to submit a comment to the rulemaking docket, OSHA-2021-0009, for the proposed rule: "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings".
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.
