After the hottest summer on Earth, Miami-Dade County Commissioners on Tuesday punted on a landmark proposal intended to increase protections for outdoor workers and enforce those protections with fines and penalties.

The proposal would mandate regular water breaks and require companies to provide rest and shade to outdoor employees.

South Florida’s Miami-Dade County could be the only local government in the nation to provide heat-related protections for outdoor workers.

At first the bill would protect outdoor workers on days with a heat index of 90 degrees, which has occurred about five and a half months out of every year since 1981. The updated version doesn’t kick in until the air temperature hits 95 degrees, a rare occurrence.

The newest version of the bill would take effect less than five days a year and slashes fines for big employers that deny workers water and breaks.

It comes at time when it’s a struggle for many to find affordable places to live and South Florida is dealing with an influx of demand for housing and migration to the area.
