By Friday, he had his accident, and my son was gone Saturday morning,” Velma Infante, his mother, told CNN. CNN spoke to two women who lost loved ones who died while working outdoors in the extreme heat. According to what Eugene’s then-supervisor told Carla, her husband collapsed in a neighbor’s front yard while delivering mail. Velma Infante carries this vial which holds a print out of her son Gabriel's last heart beats. Velma Infante worries that other state governors might follow Abbott’s example and implement similar laws that could potentially roll back local worker protections.

"I've had several days where I'd have to stop and try to cool down," she told Insider. The program is designed to educate letter carriers on the warning signs of heat-related illness and how to stay safe amid high temperatures. This year, the National Associated of Letter Carriers has ordered every local branch to review its training completion records. "This is easily the worst summer yet," the rural letter carrier from Texas told Insider.

The human body’s primary way to deal with high heat is through sweating, which cools the body when it evaporates. But despite these risks, getting a clear set of rules to protect workers from high heat has proved difficult. OSHA heat safety rulesEven without a specific heat standard, OSHA can fine employers that let heat get unsafe for workers under a “general duty” rule requiring safe work places. “That’s why a heat standard would be much more useful.”OSHA said protecting workers from heat is a major priority.
