The proposed OSHA Heat Standard threatens to add unnecessary and unworkable new mandates to small business operations. Congress must take action to stop the OSHA Heat Standard from adding one-size-fits-all mandates and paperwork requirements on small businesses.
Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed OSHA Heat Standard would force small businesses to comply with several burdensome mandates, including new 15-minute paid breaks every two hours, training and paperwork requirements, implementing heat control measures, and much more. Small business owners overwhelmingly oppose the OSHA Heat Standard, with 90% of NFIB members against this invasive regulation.
The NFIB is advocating for the passage of the Heat Workforce Standards Act, which will protect tens of millions of small businesses from increased compliance costs. The organization is urging members of Congress to stop the proposed OSHA Heat Standard and protect small businesses from these unnecessary mandates.
