OSHA has proposed protections for workers from extreme heat,
which is worsened by climate change.

Proposed First-Ever Heat Safety Standard Could Save the Next
Worker’s Life

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
proposed the first-ever federal safety standard that protects
workers from extreme heat, a worsening problem due to climate
change. Urge OSHA to rapidly finalize a strong extreme heat
standard and help save workers’ lives.

Dear NRDC Activist,

Ronald Silver II, a 36-year-old Baltimore
Department of Public Works sanitation worker who collapsed on
someone’s doorstep looking for water last month. Juan José
Ceballos, a 32-year-old migrant farmworker in North Carolina.
Wednesday “Wendy” Johnson, a 51-year-old U.S. Postal Service
employee in North Carolina who drove in an “easy bake oven” truck
without air conditioning.

They all died while working in extreme
heat — a worsening problem for workers, especially as climate
change is driving up temperatures around the country.

Too many workers spend strenuous days in
extreme heat without enough water or cool places to rest. That’s
why OSHA has proposed its first-ever extreme heat safety standard
to protect workers.

OSHA is now seeking public comments –
this is our chance to tell the agency to quickly finalize a
strong heat safety standard and save lives. ( [link removed] )

Federal data suggests that in an average
year, about 40 workers die and nearly 3,400 others miss at least
one day of work from heat-related causes. And these numbers “are
likely vast underestimates” according to OSHA.

We can help
save the next worker’s life. Tell OSHA to rapidly finalize the
first-ever federal heat standard. ( [link removed] )

OSHA’s proposal would require employers
to provide basic and common sense services on hot days: water,
cool places to rest, and training and education on how to keep
workers safe. Though the proposal is a good place to start, OSHA
needs to hear from us that we want a strong heat standard with
requirements like mandatory, rather than encouraged, breaks.

The current proposal would protect about
36 million outdoor and indoor workers – do your part to help
workers survive extreme heat. ( [link removed] )

Juanita Constible
