While the agency recognizes extreme heat as a workplace hazard, OSHA has not yet issued specific federal rules to protect workers from dangerously high temperatures. Gee willikers, mister. I do wonder what kind of precautions we can take to safeguard our workers from extreme heat? Maybe, just maybe, a fucking water break? --- Shut your BF28/9 sound hole and listen up.

HylianFox posted... which would prohibit local governments from determining workplace heat standards that go beyond those required by federal law. https://www.wrshlaw.com/blog/construction-accident/texas-ending-its-worksite-water-break-rules-was-a-bad-idea/ Federal regulations require employers to provide access to drinkable water, but there are no specific OSHA guidelines on how often employees must be provided with water breaks. OSHA doesnt have a minimum water break rule, and federal regulations are vague, only stating that employers must allow workers reasonable opportunities to drink water during their shifts.

From google:
Only three states currently have heat exposure standards for all outdoor workersCalifornia, Minnesota and Washington, according to OSHAbut Oregon, Colorado and Nevada implemented rules requiring mandatory breaks, shade and cold water last year. Seems like the majority of America goes by the federal requirements. I think all states should adopt mandatory water/shade breaks. With that said, Ive never been denied a water break or a moment to cool off at any of the jobs Ive worked Florida.

how do you even ban someone from providing breaks?? I can understand requiring them to provide breaks, but I don't understand the reverse
and I don't mean this in the sense of "how can they do something that's such a bad idea", I mean actually how does it work? can't the company just provide a break for any other random reason? --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
