    As someone who works outside frequently and in Texas, this is a very good thing.

    Texas recently blocked cities and counties from having heat stroke prevention rules for businesses.

    Florida did similarly as well.

    A rule like this will save lives (assuming it can survive the court system)

      It’ll be interesting seeing the details: heat stroke prevention is probably quite different most of the time up here in New England, compared to Texas. In any sane world, each state would have their own, tailored to the needs of local climate

        Yes, but in a sane world states like Texas and Florida that need this more than others would have more broad protections rather than banning help like they have done, needing the federal government to step in to protect the lives of their workers
