    What Anzac Day means to those who have served Australia

    For Australians, April 25 is a day of national remembrance, where millions around the country reflect not only on the Anzacs who landed at Gallipoli in 1915, but on the more than two million people who have served Australia since then.

    Today, at Dawn Services and marches held across the country, it was their stories of sacrifice, bravery and mateship that were honoured.

    Ryan Cripps is just one of many serving members who knows those stories well.

    With spiralling conflicts in the Middle East, Anzac Day has taken a more resonant meaning for Australians in the restive region.

    "Australia's embassies, high commissions and consulates will commemorate Anzac Day across the globe, whether in regions of peace or conflict," the Department of Foreign Affairs said.

    "In the Middle East, several embassies will mark the occasion despite being unable to host usual events due to the conflict."

    Excessive heat

    Why it matters: A suite of new analyses has found that regulations that provide basic safeguards like water, shade and rest for workers in hot conditions can help lower the numbers of heat-driven injuries, workers' compensation claims and even deaths.

    How have regulations helped? The most recent study, published in December in the journal Health Affairs, looked at California's rule protecting outdoor workers from heat, the oldest such rule in the country. Researchers found the regulations led to at least a 33% drop in heat-related deaths among workers after 2010 — an estimate of several dozen lives saved each year.

    Read on … to learn more about the ways the government can protect workers.

    Rising Heat Means More Vigilance in Keeping Workers Safe

    Extreme heat is on the rise in the United States, challenging the ability of many industries and  employers to keep workers safe, especially in high risk industries with considerable amounts of outdoor work, such as construction.

    While we can expect unabated climate change to continue to pose a threat, we do have a playbook to mitigate these risks. Devoting the resources to create a plan, and more importantly, implementing the plan, can quite literally save lives on the jobsite.

    Jenny's son died after working in extreme heat. She believes a policy could have saved him

    Jenny Newport's son, Glenn, died 13 years ago from working in extreme heat. She believes a heat policy could have saved him.  (ABC News: Crystalyn Brown)

    Jenny Newport's son, Glenn, died while working on a coal seam gas pipeline construction project.

    Temperatures at the construction site where he was working had exceeded 40 degrees Celsius that day.

    Ms Newport is calling for state and federal governments to implement heat policies to help protect workers.

    It has been 13 years since Jenny Newport's son died from extreme heat while on a worksite in Queensland, and she believes not much has changed.

    Ms Newport had hoped there would be an effective heat policy for every worksite across the state after her son's death.
