President Joe Biden has proposed a new rule to address excessive heat in the workplace. The Democrat warns as tens of millions of people in the U.S. are under heat advisories that high temperatures are the country's leading weather-related killer. If finalized, the measure unveiled Tuesday by the Democratic president would protect an estimated 36 million U.S. workers from injuries related to heat exposure on the job — establishing the first major federal safety standard of its kind. Those affected by excessive heat in the workplace include farmworkers, delivery and construction workers, landscapers, gardeners and workers in warehouses, factories and kitchens. Biden says more people die from extreme heat than from floods, hurricanes and tornadoes combined.

Summer means playgrounds, pools, bikes and being outside for kids. Pediatricians say it can also mean more potential for injuries like dehydration, sunburns and scrapes. They suggest keeping your child hydrated and avoiding prolonged sun exposure to keep heat illness at bay. Don't leave kids unmonitored around pools or other bodies of water. Most scrapes from playing outside can be taken care of at home. But if the injury shows signs of infection or there's swelling, take your child to the doctor.
