Heat Stress
 

I urge you to develop, and ensure the implementation of, strong standards and regulations to protect farm workers and other at-risk workers from severe heat. These standards should include sufficient drinking water, breaks, and training. They should also include air-conditioning in employer-provided housing. Thank you.
