ARA Joins Coalition Comments to OSHA regarding Proposed Rulemaking on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings

ARA joined the National Grain and Feed Association and a coalition of agribusiness associations in submitting comments raising concerns with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings.

The comments state “The Coalition supports strongly OSHA’s goal of protecting workers from heat related injuries and illnesses. It is with this dedication to promoting worker safety that the Coalition raises concerns with OSHA’s proposal, namely that the proposed rule exceeds OSHA’s legal authority, is overly broad, and potentially undermines the effectiveness Coalition members’ heat illness prevention programs already in place.”
