Thank you for your leadership on creating the emergency COVID-19 standard. Please develop strong standards/regulations for addressing heat illness to protect farmworkers and other at-risk workers. The regulations should, at a minimum, outline standards for access to water, breaks, training and air-conditioning in employer provided housing. As the effects of climate change continue to contribute to a warming world, these regulations are more critical than ever.
