Workers need protection from the heat
A new legislative push is needed to modernize provincial workplace rules to account for rising temperatures as well as poor air quality due to wild fire smoke. Farm labourers, construction workers, landscapers and other outdoor employees face a high risk from heat. Some indoor workers are also at risk from high temperatures in the summer or year round, particularly those in industrial kitchens and certain manufacturing plants.
