The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has expressed support for the Heat Workforce Standards Act, which aims to prevent the Biden Administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Heat Standard from being finalized.
Impact on Small Businesses
According to NFIB Director of Federal Government Relations Dylan Rosnick, a federal Heat Standard would add unnecessary regulatory requirements that could force small businesses to close or sell off to larger competitors. The Heat Workforce Standards Act would protect small employers from being disproportionately impacted by burdensome and costly new mandates.
NFIB led 50 trade associations in sending a letter to sponsors of the Heat Workforce Standards Act, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Rep. Mark Messmer (R-Ind.), urging Congress to pass their legislation to eliminate this burdensome rule and prevent increasing compliance burdens on millions of America’s job creators.
