BBC World Service - Business Matters, Biden announces measures to deal with extreme heat

U.S. President Joe Biden announces measures to deal with extreme heat in the workplace

The US government will introduce what it's described as "a heat hazard alert" which it says will give workers greater protection.

A prolonged heatwave in the US has created concerns in the White House as medics are warning of a rising number of burns and heat strokes in the workplace. 

President Biden has announced a number of measures to help Americans deal with extreme temperatures, as a heatwave spreads across large parts of the United States.
