I've never had to deal with OSHA. I managed to get them to consult some of our former safety guy's recommendations that they had apparently forgotten about and find some stuff that addressed the heat issues. So they spent a few grand or so on swamp cooler fans to cover areas they should have a long time ago and they got some of those cheap necklaces that absorb water. Those work much better than fans, BTW, though it can be hard to get people to wear them (ironically, I had to badger the one guy who needed one the most and he benefited more than anyone).
A lot of things were forgotten, I guess, because the guy responsible for safety was laid off back in 2008 or something like that, which is probably what made them seem so nervous.
Anyhow, no one got sick from the heat, and this was a downright miserable summer, even by Arizona standards, and we did pretty good from the look of things. Nobody has anything to sue over that I know about. I'm not the type who'd sit back and watch someone get hurt if I could prevent it.
