Colorado House Bill 26-1272 was enacted, which requires the division of labor standards and statistics a model temperature-related injury and illness prevention plan (TRIIPP) that thereafter must be made available on CDLE's website by July 1, 2028.

The bill specifies that there must be written procedures regarding:

• Access to cool potable water
• Access to cool-down or warm-up rest areas
• Monitoring workplace temperature conditions
• Acclimatizing new or returning workers during their first fourteen days of assignment
• Training workers to recognize signs and symptoms of temperature-related injury and illness
• Responding to temperature-related medical emergencies
• Other components and exemptions as needed

Additionally, the act requires the division to review and update the model TRIIPP at least every 5 years and grants the division authority to adopt rules necessary to implement the act.

Additionally, on or before January 15, 2027, the Division must begin collecting data concerning temperature-related injury or illness or temperature-related emergencies at worksites. The bill provides additional information on how this data will be utilized.
