- Lawmakers consider Pa. heat protections as temperatures climb
Lawmakers in Pennsylvania are considering heat protections for workers as rising temperatures linked to climate change increase heat-related risks. A proposed bill, House Bill 1580, would require heat safety regulations for days with a heat index of 80 or higher, but it has not advanced to a vote. Neighboring Maryland has implemented its own standards, while federal heat regulations remain under consideration.
