Farm employers would have to protect workers from dangerous smoke and heat. That includes masks, water, cooling areas, rest breaks, and training. The Labor Department would enforce early rules right away and then write a stronger permanent standard.

Farmworker Smoke and Excessive Heat Protection Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Latest action on S. 2571: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects farmworkers first, because it changes what protections they must get on the job during smoke and extreme heat. It also directly affects farm employers, who would have to provide equipment, breaks, training, and safer conditions. The U.S. Department of Labor and State or local health departments would also play a role by giving guidance, writing rules, and helping with training materials.
Why this matters: This matters because farmworkers can face serious harm from wildfire smoke and extreme heat, and protections are not always the same from place to place. The bill would create a national floor for safety, so workers are less dependent on where they live. It could improve access to masks, water, shade, cooling, and clear safety information. But the full effect would still depend on how the permanent OSHA rule is written and enforced.
