Maryland introduces new heat standards to safeguard workers amid rising heat-related deaths.
Maryland implemented new heat standards to protect workers after a spike in heat-related deaths in 2024.
Employers must now provide extra breaks and up to two weeks for acclimatization when the heat index exceeds 90 or 100 degrees.
Workers are also entitled to frequent water breaks and rest periods in extreme heat.
The effectiveness of these standards depends on enforcement by the Maryland Department of Labor.
