Before leaving for their August recess, Congress should pass The Asunción Valdivia Heat Illness, Injury and Fatality Prevention Act which would direct #OSHA to issue an Interim Final heat standard within one year.

Biden and Congress should clear the way for OSHA to mandate water, shade and rest for outdoor workers before another life is lost to this brutal heat. And we won't even insist lawmakers toil outside in triple-digit temperatures while they do so. tinyurl.com/28uwkter

Blame Abbott for blocking Texas water breaks? Blame Biden and Congress, too. (Editorial)

Construction, agriculture and other workers are exposed to dangerously high temperatures....

Right now, too many Hanford workers with beryllium exposure can’t get the care they need because of a technicality. That’s unacceptable. We owe it to Hanford workers to get them the care they deserve—& I’m introducing legislation today to get it to them. murray.senate.gov/senator-mu…

Preventing MSM from donating blood is not only discriminatory, it’s also not supported by science. Happy to have been interviewed for @wxyzdetroit about this wxyz.com/news/7-in-depth/fda…

LGBTQ+ community, supporters call FDA policy on donating blood 'discriminatory' amid shortage

As hospitals try to manage dangerously low levels of blood products on their shelves, the Food and Drug Administration's policy on who is not eligible to donate blood is being called "discriminatory"...

This is first OSHA standard being heard by SCOTUS in over thirty years. COVID is the greatest occupational health crisis since OSHA was created and this standard would save lives and over 250,000 hospitalizations. There are no current protections for workers.

On top of the devastating fires yesterday, Colorado recorded the highest number of #Covid_19 cases in a single day since the start of the pandemic. Hospital admissions also rising sharply. Very high probability that someone you encounter is infectious. Mask up.
