HB 128 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to workplace heat illness prevention, including the creation of a heat illness prevention advisory board; imposing administrative penalties.

HB 128, the Antelmo Ramirez Heat Safety Act, requires all Texas employers to implement heat illness prevention measures for workers. It creates a heat illness prevention advisory board (with representatives from safety experts, construction workers, employers, nonprofits, and unions) to recommend standards to the Texas Workforce Commission. These standards must align with federal NIOSH guidelines for heat safety and cover both indoor and outdoor workplaces. Employers who fail to comply face administrative penalties, though specific requirements like hydration or rest breaks aren't detailed in the provided text. The bill applies broadly to all employers statewide, regardless of size or industry.
