stopping at certain temperatures would be something but It's deceiving ... 35Cent with dry heat low humidity would likely be less dangerous than 32cent with 50/60% humidity - see heat bulb etc - but nobody at work is concerned with that and I'd not be surprised to hear of an electronic temperature display in an RM place of work being tampered with by rogue COMs/DOMs.

just think the poor people with no van tempertaure blower working 3rd world conditions
There is no 1st or 3rd world (nor was there ever a 2nd, because the thinking behind 3rd world was misguided). There's explotation and degrees of it. All workers everywhere working in heatwaves are exploited. We risk our lives to deliver profits for the bosses. Bezos ain't out there delivering that essential bag of compost. Would it really have dented the bosses profits if they'd given workers a break.
what's it like living in a parallel universe?
for the rest of us back in the 70s first world was the so-called developed world, 2nd world countries were those of the eastern bloc and 3rd world was pretty much all the rest - course, things have moved on somewhat. First world is heading to 3rd world (long term economic collapse) and vice versa eventually.

This guy seems to do fine. He even has a shirt and tie on rather than a clown su- sorry, 'active wear'.
The machine stops.
