The OSHA heat rule is listed at the proposed-rule stage, with final action scheduled for October 2027.
Assessments
Torres took same-term action consistent with the promise by sponsoring a 2026 warehouse-worker resolution and publicly tying it to safe workplaces, fair treatment, and extreme-heat risks in the Inland Empire. However, the substantive federal heat protections remained only at the proposed-rule stage, with final action scheduled later, so the promised protective outcome had not been fully delivered.
