CDC Report Shows Need For Worker Acclimatization In Hot Weather, OSHA Says

OSHA says a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) backs up OSHA's case that employers need to acclimatize workers to extremely hot weather conditions, which the agency is arguing as part of its annual campaign to pressure businesses to require ample water, rest and shade and in which it cited the OSH Act general duty clause 20 times over a two-year period in instances where it believed employers flouted the law.
