Taiwan is ramping up occupational safety measures as local construction sites battle severe summer heat waves. Labor Minister Hung Sun-han recently visited a job site in Taoyuan to highlight new heat-mitigation standards, including wearable cooling vests with built-in fans and an AI-powered weather monitoring system that broadcasts localized high heat alerts in multiple languages for migrant workers. The labor ministry is also doubling down on enforcement, raising its high-temperature safety inspections to safeguard workers on the front lines of climate change.
