🌡️ On July 2nd, the Biden-Harris administration through OSHA took a significant step to protect workers from the dangers of extreme heat after months of continued public pressure. A new proposed rule aims to safeguard 36 million indoor and outdoor workers from heat-related injuries and illnesses. The plan would require employers to evaluate heat risks and, when heat increases risks to workers, implement requirements for drinking water, rest breaks, and control of indoor heat. It would also require a plan to protect new or returning workers unaccustomed to working in high-heat conditions. “This rule is even more important now that a pre-emption for local governments setting heat standards for outdoor workers has been enacted into law in Florida by Governor DeSantis,” says YOCA ARDITI-ROCHA, Executive Director of The CLEO Institute. The CLEO Institute has been advocating for protections for outdoor and indoor workers at the local, state and Federal level. Most recently sending a letter in March of this year to the Biden-Harris Administration, and the Department of Labor, asking them to fast-track federal heat standards. We call on them to finalize this rule swiftly to protect workers.

For those of you who know me, you know that I love being an ambassador for Salary(dot)com/CompAnalyst. One of the tools we use at Burton to help identify fair pay based on robust market data (we consider other elements as well to determine pay, but you can't do anything if you don't start with market data). As an ambassador, I get to write about areas of HR that are not in my (current) direct line of work, and always bring my attention to critical topics, like this article about workers safety as it relates to extreme heat. This article, and news stories I've heard recently, hit me particularly hard as I had my own heat related (not at work!) crisis, and realized the true dangers of heat and humidity on the body. So, what about people whose job requires that they work outdoors, and if they don't work, they don't get paid. The conflict between not getting paid as a laborer, and protecting one's health...I can't even imagine. As this article points out, the dangers of heat can creep up on you faster than previously understood, and the severity of the health impact that can result. The article states that over 2500 people died last year from extreme heat, 350 of whom were working in New York City! Shout out to states like California, Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington (of course) for taking the initiative to pass workplace safety legislation to include staying safe in the heat. Many of us reading this article probably don't have to worry about suffering from heat exhaustion or heat stroke at work, but some may be in charge of workforces who are. If you are one such employer, please share what your company does to keep your workers safe and healthy. https://lnkd.in/ezjPzt_3

The proposed rules aim to protect workers from extreme heat conditions. It also states that at 90 F, workers would be guaranteed 15-minute breaks every two hours and employers would be required to monitor workers for heat-related illness. When businesses hire new employees, the rule would mandate that their workload gradually increases to allow them to adjust to high temperatures. #UShealthandsafety #OSHA #Insurepro #laborlaw

Quite a bit of information to digest in this proposed rule on heat-related illness prevention. It will be interesting to see how this evolves over the coming months and whether it survives the November elections. Many of the elements in this proposed rule are already standard practices, but formalizing requirements such as mandatory breaks and air-conditioned break rooms could be a struggle for some sites.
