Interactive map shows heat-related deaths across U.S.
Although temperatures have turned frosty in many parts of the U.S., OSHA is not letting up on its effort to raise awareness about the risks of heat illness for outdoor workers. The agency has produced an interactive, online Heat Fatalities Map that is a visual representation of heat-related fatalities in the U.S. between 2009 and 2012.
“It's a reminder that water, rest and shade are vital to providing a safe and healthful environment when working outdoors in the heat,” according to the agency.
