“It’s not heat that kills workers so much as employers’ failure to provide protections,” said Jordan Barab, a former deputy assistant secretary for the Labor Department’s Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) during the Barack Obama administration. “While OSHA can certainly provide information for those employers who are willing to listen, a mandatory standard is almost always going to be more effective than voluntary guidance.”
✏️ This is triggering a connection in my head to the global climate colonization article, and about “natural disasters”. There are no natural disasters, just situations where hazards meet vulnerabilities. Here, the vulnerability is the lack of protections in place for people against hazards like heat and so on. Just as it happens when you don’t spend on third world countries, “natural disasters” and climate-related deaths occur… on the level of a country or a person. #xref 🔗 View Highlight
