WASHINGTON — The Occupational, Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is offering tips that can help prevent heat-related deaths, illnesses, and injuries while on the job.
“Summer is a time to be enjoyed, but it's also a season that can present unique hazards to those who work outdoors or in very hot environments,” said OSHA Administrator John Henshaw. “Our job is to help educate employers and workers to learn how to reduce heat-related illnesses and fatalities. Simple precautions can often save lives.”
