NYC mayor signs Executive Order on protecting workers from heat
Development of heat illness prevention plans for New York City employees and contractors, as well as heat safety guidance intended for everyone who works in the city, are part of an Executive Order signed June 22 by Major Zohran Mamdani.
The Executive Order also directs the Department of Buildings to “review and strengthen” construction site heat safety requirements, with recommendations due by March 1.
For outdoor workers, the Executive Order directs three city departments – emergency management, health and mental hygiene, and citywide administrative services to develop and distribute multilingual heat safety guidance as soon as this year.
The order also reinforces existing protections for outdoor workers, including access to bathrooms and workplace reporting requirements. Additionally, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is directed to evaluate whether heat illness is a reportable health condition for worker’s compensation claims.
