Roofing contractors can offer a multitude of benefits to commercial building owners and property managers by applying coatings that reduce energy costs.
The agency began the process of considering a heat-specific workplace rule to address heat-related illnesses when it published the ANPRM on Oct. 27, 2021.
The tentative agenda includes updates from OSHA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and discussions about OSHA’s work on heat illness.
The Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will initiate a comment period to gather diverse perspectives and expertise on topics, such as heat-stress thresholds, heat-acclimatization planning and exposure monitoring.
The newly established initiative prioritizes heat-related interventions and inspections of work activities on days when the heat index exceeds 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
For the longest time OSHA enforced heat safety through the general-duty clause, but is now looking to change that in a way that could impact contractors, said Trent Cotney in this latest episode.
