OSHA Offers Tips for Working in Hot Weather U.S. Newswire
'The hot weather can present additional hazards to those who work outdoors or in very hot environments,' said OSHA Administrator John Henshaw. 'It's important that employers and workers know how to reduce heat related illnesses and fatalities. Simple precautions can often save lives.'
