California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) has revised its draft indoor heat illness prevention standard to address stakeholders’ concerns. Employers would have to maintain the indoor temperature and heat index below 87 degrees Fahrenheit when workers are present under the standard.

OSHA is seeking comments, data, and information about possible revisions to its lockout/tagout standard. The agency is considering whether to accept alternatives to energy-isolating devices.

Scott A. Mugno, President Trump’s nominee to be Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health at OSHA, has withdrawn his name from consideration for the position.
