HB 3982 requires employers to implement heat safety protections for workers exposed to extreme heat conditions. The bill mandates heat safety training, access to shade, hydration breaks, and emergency response planning in workplaces where the heat index reaches 80°F or higher. Employers must also track and report heat-related illnesses and deaths. The bill applies to a wide range of industries, except for emergency response workers engaged in disaster relief.
