Overview
OSHA has renewed the National Emphasis Program for Heat Related Hazards in both indoor and outdoor working environments. The program updates specify which industries are at higher risk and will be targeted for inspections, as well as the priorities for inspectors to focus on during visits.
Because heat stress is a recognized workplace hazard, employers need a clear plan to help prevent injuries and protect workers in high-heat environments.
