Heat and Cold
National Summary
The federal workplace safety and health statutes contain a broad General Duty Clause (GDC) that requires all employers to furnish a workplace “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.…” The GDC is meant to apply when a recognized hazard exists for which there is not (or not yet) a precise standard, such as hot or cold conditions that are hazardous to employees.
