The extreme heat poses significant risks to outdoor and indoor workers, including heat stress, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, combined with physical labor and protective gear, increases the likelihood of heat-related illnesses. Vulnerable populations, such as construction workers, agricultural laborers, and municipal employees, are particularly at risk. The lack of federal heat safety standards exacerbates these dangers, leaving many workers unprotected. Delays in OSHA's rulemaking process and reduced workplace inspections further heighten the risks, emphasizing the need for immediate action at state and local levels.
