OSHA Extends Comment Deadline on Heat-Injury Ruling

摘要

On December 2, 2021, the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced the extension of its comment period for the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings to January 26, 2022. This 60-day extension came after a request from the Coalition for Workplace Safety (CWS), a group of trade associations, including TCIA, which cited the length of the initial comment period as insufficient for stakeholders to conduct the “resource-intensive research and data collection” necessary to provide the agency with “comprehensive, accurate and meaningful input.”
