"Heat: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet" by Jeff Goodell.
This book is a must read/listen.
I imagine that the number of times someone has been infected with #Covid will impact how heat stroke effects a person.

I imagine that the number of times someone has been infected with #Covid will impact how heat stroke effects a person.
Therefore, the general duty clause is the only avenue for workers to be protected from extreme heat. There are a multitude of other health and safety risks that do not have OSHA standards, including protections against infectious diseases, ergonomic strains, and workplace violence.
Reduction in safety protections for workers. New OSHA rules.
Cos when you can infect people with a pathogen that can cause disability, and death, you can do anything.

Employers in higher-risk industries have already adjusted to providing these basic protections since the OSH Act was passed in 1970, and there is no indication that the general duty clause generates an unstainable burden on employers.
