Abstract: The proposed Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Standard would add new collection of information requirements that would ensure the protection of indoor and outdoor workers from hazardous heat conditions in the workplace. These provisions would require employers to develop a worksite heat injury and illness prevention plan, review and evaluate the effectiveness of the plan, designate one or more heat safety coordinators to implement and monitor the plan, and develop a heat illness emergency response plan for employees experiencing signs and symptoms of heat related illnesses for indoor and outdoor workers.

Short Statement: OSHA is proposing to publish a new safety and health standard, titled Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings, 29 CFR 1910.148. The proposal would add new collection of information requirements that would reduce the risk of death, serious injury, and illness of workers in indoor and outdoor work settings from hazardous heat conditions in the workplace. The agency is requesting OMB approval of the proposed Information Collection Request (ICR) and a new OMB Control Number for this ICR currently under OMB Control Number 1218-0NEW. Therefore, OSHA is requesting OMB approval of 27,803,599 burden hours for this new collection. The burden hours have been annualized over a period of three years. In addition, under the proposal, the agency would be requesting an estimated annualized capital cost to the employer for $24,040,064. The proposed cost to the employer would be the cost of monitoring equipment and warning signs.
