Good Afternoon,
Maryland has recently joined the growing number of states implementing a heat stress standard aimed at protecting workers from heat-related illnesses. The state's adoption of an official heat standard comes as the federal government announced a public comment period for a potential nationwide standard in late August. For further details, please check out our latest First to Know which breaks down what these changes mean for businesses and workers alike, and how you can stay compliant.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to Gary (gjones@printing.org) and I (sosorio@printing.org) with any questions.
