Under the Biden Administration, OSHA proposed arguably the most expansive rule in its history – covering nearly all indoor and outdoor workers in temperatures at or above a heat index of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The proposal was met with sharp criticism from the business community.
Following the change in Administration, many predicted that OSHA’s rulemaking efforts would come to a quick halt. But with a web of aggressive state laws cropping up to fill the void, we have seen growing movement toward continued rulemaking.
Join Sidley for insights into where the proposed rule stands now, including timely takeaways from OSHA’s June 16, 2025 public hearing on the rule, why OSHA would hold this kind of hearing, and where we see the rule heading in the future.
