Workers who are exposed to extreme
heat or work in hot environments may
be at risk of heat stress. Exposure to
extreme heat can result in occupational
illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can
result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness.

On April 8, 2022, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced a National
Emphasis Program focused on heat
hazards. OSHA will be conducting heat-related inspections on “heat” priority days and whenever heat hazards are observed or reported.
