Bill Summary

CONCERNING PROTECTIONS FOR WORKERS NECESSITATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect workers from the dangers of extreme temperatures by requiring employers to develop and implement a "Temperature-Related Injury and Illness Prevention Plan" (TRIIPP). This plan, which will be a model developed by the Division of Labor Standards and Statistics, will outline procedures for providing workers with access to cool, safe drinking water, designated cool-down or warm-up rest areas, and will include protocols for monitoring workplace temperatures, acclimatizing new or returning workers over their first fourteen days, and training employees to recognize and respond to temperature-related injuries and illnesses. The bill also mandates the collection of data on temperature-related injuries and illnesses to better understand and address these risks, and includes an appropriation to fund these efforts.
