It is cool out right now but, oh the horrors!, it is supposed to hit 103 later. In 1980, we had several days of 115 in Central TX and me without an a/c. Seems the weather folk have lost those records.
Interesting, the rule says no non-essential strenuous physical activity above 90 F. That would be just about every day from June to mid-September around here. Guess we could train at night. Add to that dew points of 70 F or more and it is a killer. I don’t recall the dew points so high when I was a kid but I sure do remember the hot. I recall 113 F and no breeze. The world around us was just about dead except for the cicadas.
OSHA already has regulations heat and the safe practices when working in extreme heat. Is the administration trying to out OSHA OSHA? Buckle up folks.
"And that's the way it was and we liked it!"
Tough to enforce these rules with Biden’s war on energy that almost bans air conditioning
OSHA has not provided for special protections in the specific case of heat domes chasing people through worksites or the risk of illegal aliens being denied access to the water cooler.
Aren’t these all in place already? For decades?
