OSHA, the federal agency charged with protecting you on the job, can do little or nothing if your boss orders you to work outside in the searing summer sun.
We should have a national system like how the army uses. There are heat categories and depending on what the heat & humidity are tells you how long you can work for and how long your rest period is. It also tells you how much water you should be consuming for each level of heat. This system kept us safe in Iraq in 130 degree heat so I don’t see why we couldn’t implement it.
this. we spent money to determine these levels to and like the internet this should benefit everyone. Heck I don’t know what the levels are and I should as I should follow them if Im doing a weekend project.
