Nov 8, 2024· Comment from the Institute of Makers of Explosives (IME)· OSHA-2021-0009-18668

The Institute of Makers of Explosives respectfully requests an extension of the comment period for this proposed rule. Additional time is required to assess the potential impacts to our membership. In addition, the current comment deadline falls during the busy holiday season when all of our member companies are closed. This would make finalizing comments very difficult. We recommend an extension to March 30, 2025.

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.
