Common questions
Is there an OSHA heat standard?
OSHA can cite heat hazards under its General Duty Clause, and it has been working on a federal heat rule. We keep the course current as requirements change.
Who is most at risk?
New workers and those returning from time off, because their bodies have not adjusted to the heat yet.
