A researcher and a construction associationboth agree, a new heat stress rulingproposed in New Mexico lacks practicality. On March 14 , the New MexicoEnvironment Department (NMED)petitioned new protection measures forNew Mexico workers through theEnvironmental Improvement Board. Inresponse the New Mexico Chapter ofAssociated General Contractors of America(AGC NM) is opposing the measures and isencouraging its members to submit data andcomment at future stakeholder meetings. thThe Built Environment contacted aUniversity of New Mexico professor whocontinues to study the impact of heat stressin construction. “Employers need to protect their employeesfrom the reality of heat-related injuries,”said Occupational Health and Safety BureauChief for NMED, Kristy Peck in a release.Peck said that climate change has madeNew Mexico hotter and dryer in the pastfew years.

New safety standards to prevent illnessesbrought on by extreme heat, also adoptedby five other states in the U.S. includingCalifornia, Nevada, Minnesota, Oregon andWashington, would take effect in July of2025.NMED states in their release that over 800heat-related emergency room visitsoccurred in 2024. Data published toNMED’s website are only as recent as 2022,and that data suggests there were 373 heat-related emergency room visits that year. Project managers would be required toconduct heat exposure assessments whenthe temperature reaches above 80 degreesFahrenheit – relative to humidity, sunexposure, personal risk factors, and workperformed. Site laborers would be required to takebreaks every 20 minutes for at least 40minutes when the temperature exceeds 90-degree Fahrenheit. Training, monitoring, extended recordkeeping and cooling provisions would alsobecome a part of the ruling’s regiment. “While the intent to protect workers iscommendable, this proposed rule as writtenwould impose substantial strain on NewMexico’s commercial construction industry.A one-size-fits-all mandate does not reflectthe diversity or practical realities of ourworksites,” wrote Kelly Roepke-Orth, chiefexecutive officer for AGC NM, in an internalemail to the chapter’s members on March27th.Roepke-Orth advocated for occupationalheat stress research in 2022. That research was funded by the Center forConstruction Research and Training, and was conducted by a UNM research groupled by Fabiano Amorim Ph.D.Amorim, associate professor in exercisescience at the University of New Mexico,was one of the first to research heat stressexperienced by construction workers inNew Mexico and the U.S. at large in 2023. The Built Environment contacted Amorimwho said that while they support thedirection of the proposed requirements,further data is needed, how protocols will beimplemented is unclear and a one-size-fits-all approach fails to account for job sitevariations. “A federal heat standard is long overdue,and this proposal marks an important andtimely step forward,” continued Amorim inan email response to The Built Environment,“that said, there are specific components ofthe rule that I believe would benefit fromadditional field-based data andclarification.”One such measure called into question byAmorim is the acclimatization requirementwhich would have new employees observedby a supervisor while gradually being re- BUILTENVIRONMENT05Copyright: Canva Pro

introduced to heat conditions over a week. “While I believe that acclimatization is oneof the most important individualadaptations for working in hot conditions,it’s unclear how this protocol is effectiveand will be practically implemented orenforced in real-world occupationalsettings,” said Amorim. Amorim said that their researchers are closeto finishing an analysis of a large-scale studyinvolving 200 workers at a commercialconstruction site in the Midwest.This new study was funded by TurnerConstruction and its partners, FlatironConstruction, Liberty Mutual and ChubbInsurance, in 2024, according to Amorim. That research will be submitted forpublication soon, said Amorim. “Our hope is that data from real-worldstudies, like the one we conducted inpartnership with Turner, can help fill thesegaps and support the development of amore adaptive and effective regulatoryframework,” said Amorim. Although the decision is left to the state’sEnvironmental Improvement Board toadopt the proposed regulation in NewMexico, a federal rulemaking by theOccupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) is open for publiccomment virtually on June 16 .thStakeholder meetings facilitated by OSHA,designated for the local businesscommunity, are being held in the comingweeks for those who would be affected bythe new regulation. Associated Builders and Contractors of NewMexico will host the first meeting on April8 starting at 2 p.m. which can be attendedin person at their headquarters or virtually. thA second stakeholder meeting will be at theHorizon Building at 8801 HorizonBoulevard starting at 10 a.m. on April 15 . thBUILTENVIRONMENT06Heat stress tracking device being used during researchconducted on road construction workers in New Mexico.July 2023, Copyright: Courtesy of Fabiano Amorim Ph.D.“From our fieldwork with Turner, we’ve alsolearned that relying solely on environmentalthresholds, such as the heat index, cancreate a one-size-fits-all approach that failsto account for differences in metabolic heatproduction across different job types,” saidAmorim.

BUILTENVIRONMENTCONSTRUCTION NEWSNATIONALMembers of the U.S. Senate’s Small Businessand Entrepreneurship Committee arecurrently reviewing a proposal designed toincrease collections for loans to smallbusinesses secured during the months of theCOVID-19 economic shutdown.The Complete COVID Collections Act, asproposed by Iowa Republican Senator JoniErnst, seeks to correct the ongoingincidence of Paycheck Protect Program loandefaults. “Con artists took advantage ofsmall businesses’ pain during Covid todefraud government programs designed tohelp hardworking Americans,” Ernst hassaid.CONGRESSIONALLEGISLATION MAY BEEFUP COVID LOANCOLLECTIONSBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment04/02/2025Copyright: Canva proThe legislation, continued the Senator, isdesigned to make sure that “all resourcesare available in this fight to get taxpayersmoney back and hold these criminalsaccountable.”While the vast majority of loans madeavailable under the Coronavirus Aid, Reliefand Economic Security Act were repaid,according to multiple sources, a largecontingent were not.Earlier this year, Brian Miller, the SpecialInspector General for Pandemic Recovery,sent a letter to Ernst noting that his officehad secured 66 federal indictments, as wellas “49 arrests, 29 guilty pleas, and 4sentences.” Altogether, the agency hasrecovered nearly $190 million in lost loanrepayments.If approved, Ernst’s legislation would extendthe authorization of the Special InspectorGeneral’s office, expanding its jurisdiction tocover additional Small BusinessAdministration Covid loan programs. According to a press release issued by theoffices of Indiana Republican Senator ToddYoung it is estimated that “more than $200billion still needs to be recovered.” Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey,however, has cautioned that Ernst’s billcould prove counterproductive as it“unleashes the fury of debt collectors on37COVID

struggling small businesses.”In response, Markey, who is the rankingmember of the Senate Small Business andEntrepreneurship Committee, triedunsuccessfully several weeks ago to attachan amendment to Ernsts’s bill that wouldremove a provision referring loan collectionclaims to the Treasury Department.If approved, Ernst’s legislation would set upan eight-month timetable for investigatingdelinquent and/or fraudulent loan cases,with steps along the way focusing onsystems updates for the real-time trackingof loans, an initiation of law enforcementprocedures, and a report from the AttorneyGeneral’s office to Congress monitoringprogress. According to a report put together by theWashington-based advocacy groupTransportation for America, projects with atotal dollar value in excess of $51 billioncould go by the wayside. That’s because thegrants, which were already awarded by theDOT, have not yet been obligated.That obligation is a part of a legal andprocedural process between the DOT andwhomever has been awarded a grant whichis essentially a binding commitment on thepart of Washington to come forward withthe funding for a project.The Transpiration for America report saysthat the DOT in a memo sent to statetransportation departments across thecountry specifically asked those agencies toreview awarded grants in the areas of green,bike, and electric vehicle infrastructureprojects.Notes the publication Smart Cities Dive, thememo was additionally concerned withprojects that “include or reference climatechange, racial equity, or environmentaljustice, among other criteria.”In reviewing the span of transportationgrants awarded during the Bidenadministration, the current DOT leadershipis “setting the precedent that any project notunderway can be undone when there is anew president.”The report additionally asserts that of the$7.6 billion earlier awarded under the DOT’sRAISE/Build program, which has providedfunding for surface transportation projects,roughly $6.4 billion has yet to be obligated.The DOT has not responded to theTransportation for America report, nor has itsaid when it will determine which previouslyawarded projects grants will be obligated.BUILTENVIRONMENT38A series of federal transportation grantsearlier awarded by the Department ofTransportation may be at risk, dependingupon policies instituted by Sean Duffy, thenew Transportation Secretary.SERIES OF BIDEN ERATRANSPORTATIONGRANTS MAY BEDISCARDED, CLAIMSNEW REPORTBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter03/27/2025Copyright: Canva pro

BUILTENVIRONMENT59THE RTO EFFECT: ISTHE OFFICE MARKETREVIVAL UPON US?As companies adapt to the complexities ofreturn-to-office (RTO) mandates across bothpublic and private sectors, the office market isundergoing significant shifts. President DonaldTrump’s recent executive order requiringfederal employees to return to in-person workhas only added further momentum to thistrend, reinforcing the push for physical officespaces. While some areas have seen an uptickin leasing activity, the question remains: Is thisa true recovery or just a temporaryadjustment?For deeper insights, we turn to two industryexperts—Justin Cazana, SIOR, of Avison Youngin Knoxville, Tenn., and William O’Brien, SIOR,of M.C. O’Brien Inc. in New York City. These twocities occupy different ends of the RTOspectrum.Knoxville, a fast-growing city in a traditionallyconservative state, saw an early return to in-person work, influenced by cultural andpolitical factors. Meanwhile, New York City—adense, blue-state metropolis—hasexperienced a slower rebound, shaped byprolonged restrictions and a strong presenceof industries like finance, law, and tech, wherehybrid work remains prevalent.CONTINUE READING >Copyright: Canva Pro
