    Doesn’t this violate OSHA? I’m doing HAZWOPER training right now at work and just covered the heat stress section. OSHA mandates that you have to give workers access to clean water, shade, and rest breaks.

      Idk. But someone has to first fight it in the courts. That’s time and money. Not something that most are going to be able to do.

        It’s not in effect yet, starting september. Now I know absolutely nothing about US law, but can’t OSHA itself fight this?

          OSHA is really, really, really underfunded, to the point most OSHA complaints go uninvestigated, iirc.

          That’s a thing about these laws. Fighting them isn’t as quick as passing them. I would hope it’s thrown out, but people will die in the meantime.
