Employers Should Institute Plans During Hot Days to Protect Workers from Heat Illness and Death
An unprecedented heat wave has gripped Western United States, reaching temperatures as high as 117 degrees, placing millions of workers and citizens at grave danger from heat illness and causing or contributing to dozens of deaths. The historically high temperatures have led to extreme drought and a surge in wildfires in California, Arizona, and Oregon, among other states.
