In March 2025, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) asked the Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) to adopt a statewide heat safety rule to protect workers. Now NMED and the EIB need to hear from YOU!
From April 1st to May 30th, NMED is taking public comments from people across the state. This is your chance to speak up for strong protections for workers. Use the form below to send your comment and tell NMED and the EIB you support the strongest rule possible. Not sure what to say? Sign our petition, and we’ll make sure NMED and the EIB hear from you.
Are you a worker who has been impacted by the heat? Your story is invaluable. Are you worried about someone you care about facing heat danger at work? Please share your story below so NMED and the EIB understand how crucial it is to adopt a heat safety rule. There will be public and stakeholder meetings in May 2025, and a formal public hearing is set for July 16–17, 2025. We’ll share more details as soon as they’re available.
Let your voice be heard. Help protect New Mexico workers from dangerous heat!
