NSA/SCATS Heat Illness National Emphasis Program (NEP) Q&A Lunch

Description

Federal OSHA announced the launch of a National Emphasis Program (NEP) to protect millions of workers from heat illness and injuries. Nevada OSHA is adopting the NEP in a modified form to reflect local factors. It will be effective on June 15, 2022 Nevada OSHA will proactively initiate inspections in over 70 high-risk industries prescribed by Federal OSHA and additional industries identified by Nevada OSHA. These inspections will cover indoor and outdoor settings when the National Weather Service has issued a heat warning or advisory for a local area. This NEP shall remain effective until cancelled or modified by a change to the Federal NEP or adoption of a Nevada-specific heat illness regulation. NSA has partnered with SCATS (Safety Consultation and Training Section) to answer questions regarding this program, to assist in your businesses successful compliance. 

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. 

This event is for NSA Members ONLY.
