OSHA announced new regulations to protect workers from heat-related issues. KVUE spoke with lawmakers and EMS officials about what the changes will mean.
Triple-digit days are already coming about more regularly in Austin, and they're having some serious effects.
"What sort of note is 86 of those calls were last week. So 86 in one week, we're already almost at 400. It's just going to keep going up," said Cpt. Stedman."I've had to organize one too many vigils and have had to go to too many funerals of construction workers and other workers that have died in the extreme heat," said U.S. Rep. Greg Casar.
Rep. Casar said rule changes usually takes years to come about, but after seeing how many heat-related illnesses continue to happen, the federal government stepped in.
