Sign Up to Testify: Public Hearing on the Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Rulemaking
On July 2nd, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released a proposed rule to better protect workers from the health risks of extreme heat. Throughout the summer and fall, we sought individual comments and organizational sign-ons to OSHA to make it clear that health professionals want a strong standard for workers.
The Administration has announced that the OSHA Public Hearing on the Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Rulemaking will proceed. This virtual hearing will begin on June 16, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and will continue until all who have registered have had a chance to testify. It’s vital that the expertise and experiences of health professionals are a part of the official record.
You can sign up to speak for 5 to 20 minutes, and the deadline to register is May 2, 2025. Let us know if you’ve signed up here.
Tell Your Representatives: Protect the Inflation Reduction Act
In 2022, Congress took a historic step to address climate change and improve public health by passing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Together with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this law represents the largest investment in clean energy and climate solutions in U.S. history. Now is a vital time to protect this important legislation. That’s where you come in—engaging with your elected officials is a powerful way to highlight how the IRA is benefiting your community and why its success must continue.
There are three actions you can take:
- If you have 5 minutes, send a note to your representatives via the link below explaining how the IRA has protected health in your state.
- If you have 10 minutes, call your lawmaker’s office (voicemails are great, too!) using the script at the link below.
- If you have 15 minutes, schedule a meeting with your representatives so you can advocate for the IRA in person. Our toolkit helps your request and prepare for these meetings.
