Heat Illness: A New Focus
Heat is the leading weather-related killer, ending more lives than hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and lightning combined. Workers need to understand their risks and how to mitigate those risks, and supervisors need to understand how to monitor the weather as well as their workers to ensure safety. In April 2022 OSHA instituted a National Emphasis Program on Outdoor and Indoor Heat Hazards. Workplaces need to consider whether or not to establish new protocols based on OSHA’s initiative.
