The bill H.348, introduced by Representatives Casey and Logan, aims to establish the Extreme Temperature Worker Protection Act in Vermont. This legislation is designed to safeguard workers who are exposed to extreme heat or cold in their work environments, addressing the risks of occupational illnesses, injuries, and fatalities associated with temperature-related hazards.

To achieve this, the bill mandates that employers develop a comprehensive plan to assess and manage these temperature-related risks in the workplace. The specific legal language detailing the requirements for such plans and the responsibilities of employers is not provided in the summary, but the intent is clear: to enhance worker safety in extreme temperature conditions.
