OSHA reveals the winners of its nationwide “Beat the Heat” photo contest. This competition called on organizations, businesses, and safety advocates to bring forward their most innovative tools and educational resources to help protect workers from the dangers of extreme heat—whether indoors or outdoors.
OSHA received 400 submissions from 114 competitors across 33 states and the District of Columbia. A panel of experts evaluated each entry based on criteria that included photo quality, suitability for OSHA publications, originality, clarity of message, creativity, and effective inclusion of workers, employers, or the workplace.
