The sponsor's argument
New Yorkers, working both in outdoor and indoor sites, are exposed to extreme temperatures due to climate change. This legislation includes necessary temperature standards to be followed by employers within the scope to avoid undue harm to employees. Every year, New York city has high numbers of heat-related emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and deaths as found and declared by the NY state legisla- ture. According to the New York City Office of the Mayor, each year there are an estimated 450 heat-related ED visits, 150 heat-related hospital admissions, 10 heat stroke deaths, and 350 heat-exacerbated deaths, caused by heat-worsening existing chronic conditions. By declar- ing that the government is obligated to ensure that employers provide safe conditions for their employees, this bill seeks to mitigate as much as possible the harmful effects of heat within the workplace.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
