Colorado HB1272 establishes protections for workers exposed to extreme temperatures, requiring data collection, prevention plans, and training.

Colorado HB1272 mandates the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to collect data on temperature-related injuries and emergencies at worksites. The bill requires the division to develop a model temperature-related injury and illness prevention plan (TRIIPP) by January 1, 2028, and make it available on the department's website. Employers must submit their own TRIIPPs by September 1, 2028, and the division will review these plans. The bill also requires the development of training standards for temperature safety and ensures that employers provide proper training to affected workers.
