This week, millions of Americans live under extreme heat warnings and consultations, since some employees and financing cuts could reset the federal response to the Trump administration. Extreme heat is number one of the main cause of weather -related deaths in the United States, and experts say that the Federal Government's approach has been historically fragmented. “The federal government essentially played up. In contrast to other extreme weather events such as fire or floods or hurricanes, nobody had the problem of heat,” said Kelly Turner, Associate Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA. Turner was commissioned to lead a top center for heat -resistant communities in order to better plan communities across the country. For about a year in this work, the Trump government cut off its federal financing. “This is an enormous loss for the communities,” said Turner. “Most cities have no heat hazard reaction, and that's why we were the group that would suggest a template from which they can work to create their own.” The Trump administration also seems to have put down a first-class national heat strategy that was published as part of the bidet management. According to reports, several heat experts were also released as part of a more comprehensive efforts to reduce the federal government. “We have lost an enormous amount of intellectual and human capital as well as data records at the federal level,” said Turner. “The effects of this can mainly be felt in small communities, rural communities, municipalities that are not as far as a place like New York or Los Angeles.” The Trump government did not respond directly to questions about certain reductions or potential plans to revise the national heat strategy. A spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services said: “HHS is fully committed to managing the urgent challenges of public health from extreme heat by protecting population groups in need of protection and alleviating health risks. The department continues to concentrate on contemporary delivery, used scientific intervention to protect the community. Practical solutions such as rolling back on stressful regulations to reduce the energy costs. B. a minimal number of breaks and access to water. “At the moment everything is voluntary, so that some employers may do something of it, but we have no minimum base in this country so that these practices for employers can notify that the workers do not suffer from heat injuries, heat disease and deaths,” said Rebecca-Rebell, who said the Rebeka directional director of professional security and the healthcare of the guests of stomach, in which the AFL-CIO order was planned by the AFL-Cosels-Liebstütz. In a letter at the beginning of this year, the standard said that “Osha Mikroriegen -Harbeitstimats that would be imposed in the inappropriate stress and would generate confusion of what the employers should do.” An official of the Ministry of Labor said that the Vocational Security and Health Administration (OSHA) is currently organizing public hearings.

The deputy press spokesman for the White House, Taylor Rogers, added in an e -mail: “Instead of wasting taxpayers for vague climate goals, President Trump's Commonsense guidelines such as rolling back from preloading regulations for the lower energy costs.”
Since the Trump government focuses on the return of regulations, some concerns about the fate of a proposed rule that would determine the new nationwide security standards at work for extreme heat, e.g. B. a minimal number of breaks and access to water.
“Everything is voluntary at the moment, so that some employers may do something about it, but we have no minimum base for these practices for employers in this country so that we can ensure that employees do not suffer from heat injuries, heat disease and deaths in the job,” said Rebecca Rebel, director of the professional security and health of AFL-Cios.
The proposed rule was returned by groups such as the US Chamber of Commerce, which said in a letter at the beginning of this year that the standard “would lead to jobs of Osha micromotks, which would impose inappropriate stress and create confusion about what employers would do.”
An official of the Ministry of Labor said that the occupational safety authority (OSHA) is currently preventing public hearings on the proposed rule.
“As soon as the hearing is recording, the department will take everything into account and make a decision on how to proceed,” said the official.
