A 365 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to regulating employers to keep their employees safe from exposure to extreme heat

This bill requires employers in covered workplaces (primarily businesses delivering goods/services to consumers or businesses) to create written heat illness prevention plans. These plans must include specific protections like providing potable water below 59°F, paid rest breaks in cool areas, monitoring heat exposure, and emergency response procedures for heat-related injuries. Employers must also provide annual training for all employees on heat risks, symptoms, prevention methods, and reporting procedures, with materials in workers' languages. The law applies to all employers, including contractors and temp agencies, and aims to prevent heat-related illnesses through concrete workplace safety measures.
