PHOENIX, ARIZ. – The new ordinance at the City of Phoenix is being lauded by leaders of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health as a “critical first step” to protect workers for city contractors from the dangers of extreme heat.
In 2023, Phoenix experienced a record-breaking 31 straight days with temperatures over 110 degrees and the Maricopa County Health Department reported 340 heat-related deaths in the city in the year, among 645 fatalities countywide. It is well documented, across the United States, that the dangers of extreme heat fall most severely on Black, Brown, and low-income workers, indicates a release, adding Latinx workers, for example, are three times more likely to die from heat stress than their peers.
