In July 2024, new OSHA regulations targeting extreme heat exposure were proposed, requiring employers to implement safety measures like access to water and regular breaks.
Research shows that worker productivity can decline by up to 2.5% for every degree above 80°F, costing U.S. businesses $100 billion every year.
The proposed OSHA regulation aims to protect workers from extreme heat exposure and could prevent the rising number of heat-related illnesses and deaths.
Implementing heat protection strategies not only saves workers' lives but also significantly enhances productivity, as evidenced by a 72% reduction in heat-related incidents at La Isla Network.
