DeSantis bans heat protections for outdoor workers

This and the similar TX law are confusing to me at first. The general OSHA requirements for construction site heat protection are pretty good: shade, water, rest breaks.
But that has me thinking the fact that localities are instating and enforcing heat protection guidelines in the first place means that the State (who is responsible for enforcing OSHA compliance) isn’t doing their job.
And the laws are to prevent anyone from making them do it.
