On July 18th, in a unanimous 11-0 vote, the Miami-Dade County Commission approved the Miami-Dade Heat Standard for Outdoor Workers on first reading, advancing it to the Community Health Committee for a public hearing. Once passed, this standard could become the country's first countywide heat standard for outdoor workers, protecting nearly 100,000 Miami-Dade outdoor workers in agriculture and construction with essentials like water, shade, and rest periods.
