In this episode of the "Safety Consultant Show with Sheldon Primus," we dive into OSHA's open comment period for the upcoming Heat Stress Standard, a critical issue for both indoor and outdoor workers.

I also discuss the potential future of OSHA depending on the outcome of the upcoming US elections. If Vice President Kamala Harris wins, OSHA is expected to ramp up compliance enforcement.
