Vermont Lawmakers Consider Extreme-Weather Worker Protections
Vermont lawmakers and regulators are weighing the Extreme Weather Worker Protection Act this spring after ski-lift workers filed 18 cold-related complaints with VOSHA over six years. The bill would mandate warming/cooling breaks, protective gear and a buddy system, but faces the Mar. 13 committee crossover deadline and industry pushback. Advocates say the measures address staffing and safety gaps in a tourism-critical sector.
