When a sanitation worker suddenly falls ill, why are workers required to go out to work in extreme weather?

Sanitation workers have undoubtedly made a lot of contributions to the cleanliness of a city. Hundreds of sanitation workers in a city allow urban residents to enjoy clean streets. It can be said that sanitation workers are the "street angels" in the city. However, these angels sometimes have their own difficulties. In Linyi, Shandong Province, a sanitation worker in his fifties died suddenly of a heart attack while cleaning the streets on a snowy day. He who fell to the ground while working should be able to obtain certain compensation for work-related injuries, but after compensation, what we need to think about is, who guarantees the safety of sanitation workers in extreme weather? The working environment of sanitation workers during heavy snowfall and sweltering heat is harsh

In some areas of our country, the winter is very cold and the summer is very hot. The sanitation workers who have to work under such circumstances must be very hard. Just imagine, the temperature is close to 40 degrees Celsius in the summer, and there are patches of snow in the winter. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems when performing manual labor under such conditions. Although the worker in Linyi, Shandong Province who suffered a heart attack this time had heart disease himself, we cannot say that his sudden illness had nothing to do with the extreme snowy weather. And under the circumstances, no one could take him to the hospital in time when he had a heart attack. Therefore, after the incident, we must consider whether the protection for sanitation workers was too little. You can consider suspending work during extreme weather

In my opinion, when extreme weather occurs, there are fewer pedestrians outside the city. In this case, sanitation workers should also have the right to rest. The cleanliness of the city is important, but the life safety of sanitation workers is also very important. In extreme weather, sanitation workers are required to work day and night, which inevitably makes people feel a little inhumane. In the future, I hope to develop a robot specifically designed to clean streets. In that case, the work pressure of sanitation workers will be reduced a lot.

I think it is wrong to require workers to go out to work in extreme weather.
