Today the U.S. Department of Labor announced that its Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has extended the public comment period for its proposed rule to protect workers from extreme heat exposure in indoor and outdoor workplaces to remain open until Jan. 14, 2025.
As published in the Federal Register on Aug. 30, 2024, the proposed rule had an initial 120-day public comment period scheduled to end on Dec. 30, 2024. OSHA is extending the deadline for submitting comments to provide stakeholders more time to review the proposed rule and gather relevant information and data for their input.
OSHA also announced an informal public hearing on the proposed rule will begin on June 16, 2025.
