Trump Administration’s ‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review’ Pauses OSHA’s Rulemaking on Heat Illness and Emergency Response
The second term of President Donald J. Trump started with a flurry of executive orders, presidential memoranda, and directives, some of which were signed on January 20, 2025, shortly after he took the oath of office.
While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is not mentioned by name in those presidential documents, it will feel the impact of requirements outlined in several. In particular, several proposals for new OSHA standards or revisions to existing OSHA standards made during the last years of the Biden presidency will be impacted.
