We are also requesting that OSHA immediately initiate the usual rulemaking process for a permanent heat stress standard, pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 655(b) that would include the heat threshold above, in addition to multiple other proven protective measures from extreme heat.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/2432DAFA-3404-4249-8D64-1EDD6064EA67-150x150.jpeg
