EXTREME HEAT IMPACTS US ALL

How hot is too hot? You tell us!

Last summer was the hottest on record; but you don’t have to be outside to overheat. Restaurant workers suffer through the hottest of the hot on the line, on the unshaded patio and in un-air conditioned dining rooms. We’ve worked in dangerous conditions for too long. We need a national heat standard now!

This is a unique opportunity to have a direct line to the rule makers, the policy writers and the enforcers. Submit a comment and we will send it over to OSHA to help them craft the most effective, comprehensive and inclusive indoor heat protections. Thank you for helping us advocate for restaurant workers!

About the Training

Funded by OSHA’s Susan Harwood Training Grant, our Restaurant Workers Protection Training Initiative helps workers and employers recognize the signs of heat exhaustion, avoid workplace hazards due to high temperatures, understand workers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities to stay safe from heat stress. If left unaddressed, heat-related illnesses can lead to hospitalization, long-term health consequences, and even fatalities.

Have you read our Beat the Heat report?

In August of 2023 we released a national report, detailing the harms of extreme indoor heat in the restaurant industry. The report also spells out workplace & policy fixes that will make restaurant kitchens a safer & healthier place to work. Click below to read the report.
