Thank you for your leadership on creating the emergency COVID-19 standard. Please develop strong standards/regulations for addressing heat illness to protect farm workers and other at-risk workers. The regulation should outline standards for access to water, breaks, training and air-conditioning in employer-provided housing. Everyone deserves safe working conditions, and the state has a moral responsibility to ensure that employers prioritize the well-being of their employees.
