Having no federal OSHA heat standard doesn’t mean less scrutiny.
“Expect more scrutiny with less guidance,” says Benchmark Gensuite CEO R Mukund in Benita Mehta’s ISHN Magazine column on heat safety.
Employers can still be evaluated under the general duty clause on whether their heat safety programs reasonably addressed known risks.
And with requirements varying by state, the bigger challenge is understanding how heat risk is building for individual workers, in real time, across every site.
