HB3762

Illinois HB3762 establishes workplace safety standards to protect employees from extreme temperatures.

HB3762, the Workplace Extreme Temperature Safety Act, mandates employers to implement safety measures when heat or cold stress is likely. It requires employers to develop and maintain an occupational temperature-related illness and injury prevention plan. This plan must include training on recognizing temperature-related illness risk factors, signs, and symptoms. Employers must also monitor environmental heat indices, provide protective equipment, and establish acclimatization policies.
