Tell OSHA: Issue Interim Rule to Protect Workers from Extreme Heat

Heat kills more people each year than hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes combined. Yet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has not issued nationwide standards to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. And OSHA currently says it may not finalize a nationwide standard to protect workers from extreme heat until 2026 or even later. This is simply unacceptable.

To Officials at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

It’s getting hotter and hotter. Workers are dying every day. And not only have you so far failed to issue national standards to protect workers from extreme heat on the job, but in the absence of action you should have taken already, some MAGA governors are signing draconian, inhumane laws that prevent local communities in their states from instituting even the most basic protections. Issue an interim rule now, in time to protect millions and millions of workers throughout what could be another record breaking summer.
