Plain-English Summary

This bill would require employers to establish heat safety standards and protections for workers, including mandatory rest breaks, access to water and shade, and emergency response plans during hot weather conditions. The law would apply to both indoor and outdoor workers across various industries to prevent heat-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths. Employers who fail to comply could face penalties, while workers would gain new protections and the right to report unsafe heat conditions.
