Ariel Wittenberg and E&E News report Workplace Advocates say the return of former President Donald Trump to the White House puts at risk new Heat Protections for Workers that were proposed over the Summer by the Biden Administration.  On the campaign trail Trump never directly addressed the proposal from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which would force employers to provide their Workers with water and cool places to rest when temperatures are high.  During Trump’s first term, OSHA stopped work on many health regulations, including one slated to be proposed in October 2017 that would have forced the Health Care Industry to prepare for an Airborne Pandemic such as COVID 19.  Outright killing the Heat Protection Proposal, however, would be difficult for the incoming Trump Administration because of the laws governing the way OSHA issues Public Health Standards, said Jordan Barab, who was OSHA’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health during the Obama Administration.
