Economic Policy Institute. (2024). Proposed Federal Rule Would Protect Workers from Extreme Heat.
💥 What’s the Big Deal:
As climate change intensifies, the Pacific's workforce faces increasing risks from extreme heat, particularly in outdoor and labor-intensive sectors🏝️. The proposed federal rule is a crucial step towards ensuring the health and safety of workers in the Pacific, who are especially vulnerable due to the region's tropical climate🌴. By implementing protective measures such as mandatory breaks, access to cool water, and shaded rest areas, we can prevent heat-related illnesses and fatalities🛠️. This initiative is not just about compliance—it's about valuing the well-being of those who keep our economies running and protecting them from the most severe impacts of climate change🌊. A safer working environment means stronger, healthier communities and a more resilient Pacific region, where everyone can work without the fear of heat-related dangers.
