Extreme Heat Worker Rule Proposed by White House

U.S. Department of Labor

Employers would be required to provide training and have procedures to respond if a worker is experiencing signs and symptoms of a heat-related illness.

Among other things, 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.
