 July 8, 2024 | HEALTH & SAFETY | The dog days of summer… could get their first US leash. Fourth of July sweat stains are no joke: 75M Americans were under heat alerts to start the month as high temps and humidity scorched the country. Last week the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposed a rule that could protect 36M workers from excessive heat on the job. It would apply to both outdoor workers (like delivery drivers and construction workers) and indoor workers (such as warehouse and kitchen staff). If passed, it would be the first major federal heat-safety standard in America. Sherwood
