An act relating to protecting workers from extreme temperatures in the workplace

H.348, the Extreme Temperature Worker Protection Act, requires employers to create workplace plans addressing hazards from extreme heat or cold. It directly affects workers in outdoor or uncontrolled environments, such as construction, agriculture, and landscaping, who face risks of heatstroke or hypothermia. The key provision mandates employers to evaluate temperature risks and implement controls like hydration breaks, rest periods, or shelter access. The bill aims to prevent occupational illnesses, injuries, and fatalities caused by temperature extremes.
