Work Heat Requirements
(Salem, OR) -- Oregon OSHA is reminding employers about safeguards for workers in hot weather. The requirements start when the heat index is 80 degrees and they increase with temperatures over 90. Hot weather is forecast after Friday. Employers must implement protective measures including adequate water, rest, shade, training about the rules and emergency plans, if someone gets sick from the heat. Oregon OSHA also offers free resources to help employers comply with the requirements.
