SUMMARY: President Biden is proposing a new federal safety standard to protect millions of U.S. workers from heat-related injuries, amid rising temperatures and heat warnings. The rule, announced by the Department of Labor, aims to implement measures such as training sessions, rest breaks, and access to shade and water. However, the proposal is likely to face opposition in Texas, where Governor Abbott previously signed a law preventing cities from creating local heat-related ordinances. Industry leaders are cautiously supportive of the initiative, emphasizing the need for flexible standards. Data indicates heat-related worker deaths in Texas, underscoring the urgency of the proposed rule.

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed between 2011 and 2021, 42 Texas workers died from heat-related illnesses.
