Heat illness protections
 

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 any other at-risk workers.

This regulation should outline standards for access to water, breaks, training, and air-conditioning in employer provided housing.

I see this as a basic right of workers.

Thank you in advance for your serious consideration.
