Using one of the following work locations:
• Your current (or prior) company, Meta (Facebook)
• Complete an assessment of your selected work location and their readiness for compliance with a Heat Illness Prevention Program (HIPP). Use the published OSHA Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) and the proposed elements of a mandatory HIPP from this NPRM to guide you in your assessment of compliance readiness for the listed provisions and approaches for prevention with your selected worksite. Use a rubric of exceeds minimum, ready, nearly ready, and more work needed. Provide evidence for your assessment decisions. This can be presented in table or paragraph format.
EXAMPLE: if your selected worksite has not yet named personnel who will act as the “Designated heat safety coordinator” but has established the job criteria and has planned for a budget in the next year to meet this criterion, you might select “nearly ready.”
• Then conduct a secondary assessment of the plan for deficiencies related to concepts/inputs covered in Weeks 1-3 reading materials and discussion. Are there additional potential risk factors associated with your selected workforce/workplaces that may not be adequately addressed by the proposed HIPP criterion? Develop an executive summary slide deck (5-7 slides) of your findings with issues, evidence, and call to action. Cite at least 5 sources from the Weeks 1-3 reading lists to support your call to action.
Submit both the assessment and executive summary slide deck together.
