Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the Secretary of Labor from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a proposed standard with respect to heat injury and illness prevention.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Heat Workforce Standards Act of 2025", prevents the Secretary of Labor from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a specific proposed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard related to heat injury and illness prevention. The proposed standard, published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2024, would have established guidelines to protect workers from heat-related health risks in both outdoor and indoor work environments. By prohibiting the implementation of this standard, the bill effectively blocks OSHA's efforts to create new workplace safety regulations addressing heat exposure, which could potentially impact worker protections in industries with high heat risks such as construction, agriculture, and manufacturing.
