STORYLINE
Alarming statistics from last year, the hottest year on record, underscore the urgency of these heat safety standards.
The US suffered 2,300 heat-related deaths, probably an underestimate, along with a significant increase in emergency room visits for heat-related illnesses.
These new regulations represent a crucial step in addressing the health risks posed by climate change. The Biden administration underscores its commitment to worker safety in the face of escalating climate threats.
The Biden administration will unveil regulations to protect US workers from the dangerous effects of excessive heat.
These heat safety measures target workers in agriculture, construction, kitchens and other professions hard hit by rising temperatures.
President Biden will highlight these protections during a visit to the emergency operations centre in Washington, DC. During the visit, federal scientists will brief him on the extreme heat forecast for this summer.
The announcement comes amid an intense heat wave sweeping California and the imminence of triple-digit temperatures in Portland over the 4th of July weekend. This follows an earlier heatwave last month that saw large parts of the nation suffer sweltering conditions.
