OSHA Campaigns to Prevent Heat Illness in Outdoor Workers

With spring on the horizon, OSHA wants to remind workers and employers about the hazards of working outdoors in hot weather. Through its Heat Illness Prevention Campaign, the agency continues to provide up-to-date heat-related safety information, training tools for employers to use and posters to display at their worksites. In addition, many of the new resources target vulnerable workers with limited reading skills or who do not speak English as a first language. OSHA will continue to add information and tools to this page throughout the summer. The agency is also partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on weather service alerts.
