Heat Stress Task Force in Arizona

Governor Katie Hobbs signed an Executive Order to protect Arizonans from heat risk in the workplace. The Executive Order directs the ICA’s Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) to form a Workplace Heat Safety Task Force. Composed of industry leaders, worker representatives, and occupational safety and health experts, the Task Force will be responsible for drafting and recommending heat guidelines for employers before the end of the year. This work will build on the ICA’s Heat Stress State Emphasis Program (SEP) launched in July 2023, which was created to reduce heat-related illnesses and injuries in the workplace through inspections, training, and compliance assistance.
