NPGA Opposes OSHA Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Rule

On January 14, 2025, NPGA joined a coalition of over 70 associations in joint comments opposed to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule would add onerous requirements to our worksites and fails to provide flexibility in pursuit of the important goal of safety. NPGA and its members make safety the highest priority, but OSHA’s rulemaking failed to account for methods our industry already takes to ensure and prioritize the health of our employees. Our coalition also focused on existing rules, a failure to account for the impact on small businesses, and a limit benefit connected to the significant requirements proposed.
