OSHA Heat: Planning and Supervision

OSHA guidance for employers on planning heat work, including acclimatization for new and returning workers, work-rest schedules, and how supervisors should monitor crews. Foremen and owners can use this to write the heat portion of a site plan before the summer season. It also explains why the first days on the job are the most dangerous.
