Heat preparedness for people who work outdoors

The problem

Extreme heat is an occupational hazard for outdoor workers, and preparedness measures rarely reach informal workers.

Why it matters

Heat mortality falls hardest on those with no option to stay indoors.

Proposed solution

Map shade, drinking water and rest facilities at work sites and transport hubs, and file gaps as tracked issues before summer.

How it would be implemented

Pre-summer volunteer audits in covered constituencies, with gaps escalated to the local body ahead of the season.
