Lauro Mendoza holds a sign that reads "No more deaths" as community members gather to remember Sebastian Francisco Perez at Ernst Nursery and Farm in Saint Paul, Oregon, on Saturday, July 3, 2021.
Oregon’s workplace safety agency has adopted temporary emergency rules for employees who work outdoors in extreme heat, following the death of a nursery worker in St. Paul during the record-breaking heatwave.
The rules, which center on access to shade, drinking water, and employee and supervisor training, will be activated any time the heat index reaches 80 degrees or higher, with an additional set of rules for a heat index above 90 degrees. The heat index is what the temperature feels like when humidity is taken into account.
