Would you believe that a state Department of Labor and Industries regulation that took effect June 18 requires that employees who work outside during hot weather be provided with shade canopies or tents that have air conditioners or misting stations? And that employers provide one quart of water per hour per worker and a positive signal informing workers when to take a drink? This heat stress regulation isnt new. DLI proposed it last year but there was such a flap from employers that it wasnt adopted. Its back as an emergency rule, which means that it stays in effect for 120 days, without the usual public hearings and an economic impact statement that are required for adoption of non-emergency rules.
