  2. A water break every four hours. That is what Austin and Dallas required for construction workers in brutal heat, and that is what Governor Greg Abbott erased. In a state that leads America in worker heat deaths, Texas Republicans called a shade break too much to ask. #WorkerSafety #Heat

  3. With the World Cup bringing extreme heat, there are concerns about the safety of the people working the tournament. #workersafety

  5. Thanks to Tanvi Deshpande for writing an informative and thought provoking article [1] about informal Indian workers having little heat protection while India braces for summer in 2026.

    Informal Indian workers lack heat protection when they work outdoors and in factories without shade, water, or toilets. Heat causes headaches, dizziness, dehydration. Productivity declines with temperature rise. Workers lose income when work stops. Women workers face health risks. Though Government plans mention labourers, adequate support may not reach workers. Studies show garment workers and street vendors face severe health issues, including dehydration and infections. Most lack clean water and sanitation. Experts suggest insurance and much improved hygiene standards.

    The above will be unfortunately true for similar workers in other parts of the world. Despite labour protections in advisories, informal workers remain highly vulnerable.

    Yet challenges remain. New technologies, remote work, psychosocial risks, and climate change continue to test how we think about safety. The spirit of the OHSA reminds us: protecting workers is never “done”—it’s a living responsibility that must be renewed every day.

    I’ve shared some reflections on the history, impact, and future of the OHSA in my latest article.

    From the early struggles that led to the Ham Commission, to the introduction of WHMIS and the right to refuse unsafe work, the OHSA has transformed workplaces across the province. It gave workers rights, established shared responsibility, and set the foundation for prevention.

  23. “It looks like an accident,” (Weld county sheriff’s office spokesperson)

    NO - 6 dead in a confined space is NOT AN ACCIDENT. Confined spaces are known dangerous locations, and there are rigorous protocols to ensure that the space is safe to enter, and that if the is an unexpected problem, there is a contingency plan. See eg osha.gov/confined-spaces
