As the mercury rises, employers must be ready for heat illness requirements. Temperatures rising above 80⁰ F have been considered dangerous in certain circumstances, especially for indoor workers.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposed a rule last year on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings. Eleven states (and rising) jumped ahead of OSHA with heat standards of their own, with more states considering steps to get ahead of the heat.
Join McGuireWoods’ Courtney Malveaux, an OSHA defense attorney in a must-know discussion about steps employers can take to comply with state and federal standards and prevent heat illness events.
Topics include:
- OSHA and state-based requirements
- Best practices to reduce legal exposure
- The elements of a strong Heat Illness Plan
- Potential legal defenses to an OSHA citation
