A Real Hot Topic:  Preparing For and Surviving Inspections Under OSHA’s New Heat Illness National Emphasis Program

OSHA recently announced the launch of a new enforcement imitative as part of its National Emphasis Program (“NEP”) for Outdoor and Indoor Heat-Related Hazards.  To meet the inspection goals set by the Heat Illness NEP, OSHA’s Area Offices will be conducting surprise programmed inspections of agriculture/grain handling employers as well as traditional inspections of fatalities, hospitalizations, and certain complaints.  This session will focus on what employers can expect during Heat Illness NEP inspections and how to prepare for them to hopefully achieve a better outcome.
