"On any given day in the warmest months, millions of workers nationwide labor in heat that is increasingly hazardous to their health. Last week, the Biden administration proposed a rule that, for the first time, would protect such workers, whether their jobs are indoors or outdoors.
The proposal sets out two heat index triggers that would apply nationally. One, at 80 degrees, would require employers to offer drinking water, rest breaks as needed and a plan for new workers to gradually increase their workload so their bodies adjust to the temperature. More protections would kick in at 90 degrees, including monitoring for signs of heat illness and mandatory 15-minute breaks every two hours."
