Plain-English Summary

This legislation would require employers to establish heat safety standards and protections for workers exposed to high temperatures, including requirements for rest breaks, water access, and emergency medical response plans. The law would apply to workers in outdoor jobs and indoor settings where heat is a hazard, such as construction sites, farms, warehouses, and factories. Employers who fail to follow these heat safety requirements could face penalties and workers could seek compensation for heat-related illnesses or injuries.
