New OSHA Announcement: Enforcement initiative on heat-related hazards

On September 20, OSHA announced an enforcement initiative on heat-related hazards. This involves the development of a National Emphasis Program (NEP) on heat inspections. An NEP is a temporary program that focuses the agency’s resources on particular hazards and high-hazard industries. Inspections, as well as injury and illness data, provide the necessary information to develop NEPs.

In addition to the enforcement initiative and the NEP, the agency is working to establish a workplace heat standard. Many of the details have yet to be revealed, but it’s never too early to start preparing for the changes.
