"In 2021, after years of worker activism on the issue, OSHA began the process of developing a ruling on a #heat workplace standard, with the aim to reduce heat-related injuries and death on the job.

Historically, some employers and business groups have opposed a mandatory #HeatStandard and have lobbied against it in the past. And if Donald Trump wins the presidency, it would likely upend the standard entirely."

The US doesn't have federal heat protections. A standard from OSHA would save lives.
