Who it's for
This program is designed for workers operating in high-risk settings, such as those working in landscaping or other outdoor roles.
What you get

There is no direct cost to the worker, but your employer is required to provide necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure you receive scheduled rest breaks.

There is a legal "Midday Work Ban" that applies to outdoor workers during the summer months from June through September. This is a mandatory requirement to prevent heat-related illness.
