Protect workers from heat and smoke
Heat and wildfire smoke can pose serious risk to workers. Find out more about how to keep workers safe from heat and smoke below:
- OSHA's heat and illness prevention campaign
- NIOSH's Protecting Workers and the Public from Wildfire Smoke
- National COSH heat and climate justice campaign
Don't forget to check airnow.gov each day before working outside. Even if the air looks and smells clean, invisible and odorless pollutants can make air unhealthy.
