*Tell your Representatives to endorse sensible heat protections TODAY!!!* [ [link removed] ]
Dear John,
It's time to cool things down for workers. Eighteen of the last of the Nineteen hottest years on record have occurred since 2001 and this year is on track to continue that trend. The effects of this heat are being felt by everyone but it is workers who are on the front lines. Whether it is working in the fields, on construction sites, or cleaning up after more powerful and more frequent storms it is workers who are the most impacted.
As you read headlines about record breaking temperatures it might surprise you to know that there is no national standard for conditions when working in the heat. It's time to change that! The *Asunscion Valdivia Heat Illness and Fatality Prevention Act (H.R. 3668)* is increasingly important and common sense legislation directs the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to issue a workplace heat standard [ [link removed] ] for both indoor and outdoor work. [ [link removed] ]
This legislation would ensure that workers would have access to water, rest breaks in shaded or climate-controlled spaces, a plan to help workers adjust to the heat, training, anti-retaliation rights, and other measures.
In Solidarity, Julian Medrano Director of Public Policy
