This Act mandates the Department of Labor to conduct a detailed study assessing how effectively the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) spends funds on technical assistance related to heat-related illnesses in the workplace. The goal is to find ways to utilize resources better, which could lead to stronger protection for employees against high temperatures in the future. Congress will receive a report with recommendations for potential legislative changes within 180 days.
