OSHA: Heat Illness Prevention
The OSHA Heat Illness Prevention campaign educates employers and workers on the dangers of working in the heat. OSHA’s revised Heat Illness Prevention campaign webpage has resources on heat illness prevention and first aid, employer responsibility to protect workers from heat, and information for workers who work in hot and humid conditions. These resources include a poster, pamphlet, PSAs, videos, and infographics on how to keep workers safe from heat.
Find and Fix Workplace Hazards
At the core of every effective safety and health program is a systematic process for finding and fixing workplace hazards. Finding and fixing hazards in the workplace is an ongoing process that helps better identify and correct hazards before they cause injuries or illnesses so that workers go home, after every shift, safe and sound.
There are a variety of ways to identify hazards in your workplace, including reviewing records such as the OSHA 300 Log of Work- Related Injuries and Illnesses. Visit the Safe + Sound webpage to learn how to find and fix hazards in your workplace and download resources, such as the Hazard Identification Worksheet – Hazard Information.
What Employers Should Consider About OSHA Temporarily Suspending Implementation of Vaccine Mandate
As most of you likely have heard, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has suspended enforcement of its Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on vaccine mandates for large private businesses after a federal appeals court blocked the measure
OSHA posted a message regarding the ETS on its website on November 12: https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/ets2
“The court ordered that OSHA 'take no steps to implement or enforce' the ETS [Emergency Temporary Standard] 'until further court order.' While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation,” OSHA said.
