The rising temperatures pose significant risks to workers, particularly those in outdoor and high-heat indoor environments. Without proper precautions, employees may suffer from heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which can be life-threatening. Industries such as agriculture, construction, landscaping, and oil and gas extraction are especially vulnerable due to the nature of their work. Employers are required to monitor workers for signs of heat stress and ensure effective communication procedures are in place to address emergencies promptly.
