Department of Consumer & Business Services Occupational Safety and Health Division – Oregon OSHA: Preventing heat illness Under Oregon OSHA’s heat illness prevention rule, employers must protect workers from the dangers of high heat by providing access to shade and cool water, preventive cool-down breaks, and prevention plans, information and training. Oregon OSHA’s heat rule also includes requirements to protect workers living in employer-provided housing from heat-related illness. Those requirements include providing at least one cooling area for occupants to cool off; protecting windows from direct sunlight through natural or artificial shade; and providing a thermometer so occupants know the current indoor temperature. Workers have a right to a safe and healthy workplace, including the right to raise safety or health concerns free from retaliation. Oregon OSHA expects employers to comply with heat rules in the workplace. The division offers free resources to help employers comply. Those resources include free and confidential consultation services – no fault, no citations, no penalties – to help with heat stress prevention, and safety and health programs.
