Washington seeks creative ways to increase danger of heat hazards at work.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently announced the launch of a nationwide competition for stakeholders in all industries to share their best tools and other resources for informing workers about the dangers of heat exposure in indoor and outdoor workplaces.
