COP28 Heat Crisis Exposed: FairSquare Report Urges Action & How Cooling Tech Can Help

The Unseen Toll of 42°C Labor
A damning FairSquare investigation reveals systemic failures in protecting COP28 construction workers:

"We documented WBGT levels of 31-33°C during illegal midday work - 24% above OSHA limits," states author James Lynch.

3 Critical Insights from the Report:
a. 72% Risk Blindspot: 47% of migrant worker deaths labeled "unexplained" correlate with heat exposure periods (P6)
b. False Security: 113,000 UAE inspections missed 12:30-3pm violations at COP28 sites (P7)
c. Future Forecast: Abu Dhabi's 40°C+ days will jump 98% by 2100 under current emissions (P5)

Why Standard Cooling Fails
The report condemns UAE's calendar-based bans as "scientifically obsolete":

a. Workers reported equal heat stress at 11am vs 3pm (P7)

b. NIOSH guidelines require WBGT-responsive protocols, not fixed hours (P7)
