Thank you for considering the adoption of work rules that will help protect agricultural workers and those working in unsafe indoor commercial settings.  

Please develop strong standards/regulations for addressing heat illness to protect farmworkers and other at-risk workers. The regulation should outline standards for access to water, breaks, shaded cooling stations, training, and air-conditioning in employer-provided housing.

Sincerely,

Rea Howarth

PS: Thank you for your leadership on creating the emergency COVID-19 standard.
