Heat illness regulations for outdoor workers
 

Excessive heat is a serious health threat for farmers and others who must toil in our hot/humid environment. Please develop strong standards to protect these workers. These need to address access to water, breaks, training and employer provided housing. We are counting on you to help improve these conditions. Thank you.
