I've really been wondering what the plan is for the construction industry through climate change. A lot of people on job sites around the country are experiencing temperatures unlike anything that was ever normal, day after day after day. Most states do not have good protections for their workers in the heat. There is no federal OSHA heat safety regulation, despite the common misinformed assumption that there is.

If the USA keeps sending its construction crews to sweltering jobsites with no legal protection for their safety in the heat, hotter summer after hotter summer, people are going to suffer and die for no good reason and there will be follow-on effects. It is a heavily unionized industry that the entire country relies on and generally undervalues.
