HB1272

Extreme Temperatures Worker Protections

Final Passage·5/13/26

Colorado HB1272 mandates the development of temperature-related injury and illness prevention plans for workers exposed to extreme temperatures.

Colorado HB1272 establishes requirements for employers to create and submit temperature-related injury and illness prevention plans (TRIIPP) to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE). These plans must include provisions for monitoring temperature conditions, providing potable drinking water and rest breaks, ensuring access to shade or shelter, and developing written prevention and response plans. The bill also requires CDLE to develop a model TRIIPP and training standards for temperature safety.
