We applaud the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for issuing a proposed rule to keep both indoor and outdoor workers safe from heat injury and illness. Death from occupational exposure to excessive heat is never acceptable, and this proposed rule ensures all workers remain free from the hazards associated with working in extreme heat conditions. #WorkplaceSafety #KeepEachOtherSafe Learn more about the proposed rulemaking and find resources to help you stay safe here: https://lnkd.in/gE9TeM6J.

When 39% of employers are saying impairment is causing more injuries, having supervisors trained to recognize and respond to workplace impairment, whether it’s caused by legal or illegal substances, fatigue, stress, mental distress or a combination thereof, is critical to worker health, safety and wellbeing. To address this challenge, NSC is providing supervisors, safety professionals and managers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania access to its Impairment Recognition and Response Training for Supervisors. Available through the end of 2024, access to this training is provided at no cost to employers in the state as part of the grant from the Commonwealth. #WorkplaceSafety #KeepEachOtherSafe Learn more about the training here: https://lnkd.in/gr2kK2Wi.
