text:  The Biden administration is proposing a rule aimed at addressing excessive heat in the workplace. If finalized, the measure unveiled by the White House today would protect an estimated 36 million U.S. workers from injuries related to heat exposure on the job, establishing the first major federal safety standard of its kind. Those affected by excessive heat in the workplace include farm workers, delivery and construction workers, landscapers, gardeners, and workers in warehouses, factories, and kitchens.
