CPWR is hosting a webinar on outdoor and indoor heat-related hazards in construction with a Q&A about OSHA’s National Emphasis Program (NEP). In April 2022, OSHA began a National Emphasis Program (NEP) aimed at protecting workers from heat-related hazards, both indoors and outdoors, and the injuries and illnesses that can result. Since construction workers are among those with a high risk of heat exposure, CPWR has invited a representative of OSHA’s Directorate of Enforcement to answer your questions about the NEP. In addition, CPWR and OSHA will both share a variety of resources for employers and workers to help increase awareness of heat hazards, signs and symptoms of heat-related illness, and methods of prevention.
