OSHA Launches Campaign to Beat the Heat

With record-setting hot and humid weather settling in over much of the nation, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has launched a new website aimed at educating employers and employees on ways to avoid heat-related illnesses. Sporting the slogan “Water, Rest, and Shade: The Work Can’t Get Done Without Them,” the site warns that thousands of workers every year get sick due to heat exposure on job sites. It also offers fact sheets, posters, and training resources with information on how to prevent and respond to heat-related illness.
