Small businesses are working to stop a proposed Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) Heat Standard that would force them to take extra measures when temperatures reach 80 degrees.
Concerns Over the Heat Standard
The proposed Heat Standard applies to indoor and outdoor workplaces, causing significant new compliance burdens and red tape on nearly all small businesses nationwide. Small businesses already provide safe working environments and are concerned that this standard would punish them with more paperwork and unreasonable government mandates.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has released a statement expressing concerns over the proposed standard, citing the excessive burden it would place on small businesses, especially in warmer climate states.
