The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has launched a National Emphasis Program to protect millions of workers from heat illness and injuries. Through the program, OSHA will conduct heat-related workplace inspections before workers suffer completely preventable injuries, illnesses or, even worse, fatalities. Contractors, manufacturers, distributors and reps, are all affected. 

Check out the full release on the new OSHA National Emphasis Program to assess what it means for your employees.
