Prevent Heat Illness with Air-Conditioned Respirators

Just a few days ago, President Biden directed OSHA to develop a standard that will cover heat illness prevention. While OSHA goes about the rule-making process, remember that it has been mostly successful in enforcing heat illness prevention under the General Duty Clause, Section (a)(1) of the OSHA Act, which REQUIRES all employers to provide their employees with a workplace free of hazards causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm. HEAT ILLNESS meets that criteria.
