Farmworker Smoke and Excessive Heat Protection Act of 2025 establishes safety standards for farmworkers against wildfire smoke and excessive heat.

The Farmworker Smoke and Excessive Heat Protection Act of 2025 mandates the Secretary of Labor to create an occupational safety and health standard to protect farmworkers from wildfire smoke and excessive heat. The standard must provide safety and health protections for farmworkers, ensuring they receive equipment and training to mitigate exposure risks. Agricultural operation employers must offer appropriate equipment, including respirators, and ensure mandatory use when air quality or heat levels are dangerous.
