New Hampshire HB1451 mandates workplace protections for employees exposed to extreme temperatures.

New Hampshire HB1451 requires employers to develop and implement a written plan to protect workers from heat or cold stress. This plan must include education and training for employees on identifying and preventing heat and cold-related illnesses, procedures for acclimatization, and emergency response measures. Employers must also adopt a policy prohibiting discrimination or retaliation against employees who exercise their rights or report violations. The act aims to safeguard workers, particularly those in outdoor jobs, from the health risks associated with extreme temperatures.
