Blocks new federal rules for worker heat protection
A bill called the Heat Workforce Standards Act of 2025 would stop the U.S. Department of Labor from creating new federal rules to protect workers from heat injury and illness. This means employers would not have to follow new federal heat safety standards, and workers would not gain these potential new protections.
Today, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a proposed rule to prevent heat injury and illness in workplaces, which is currently under review. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Labor would be blocked from finalizing or enforcing this proposed rule, meaning no new federal heat safety standards would be put in place.
