Apparently he was never taught to drink fluids when working on a hot day. He could have prevented his own demise. SMH

Its a shame that he passed away....1. On the job doesn't include off the clock or in the parking lot..2. a person living/working in Texas should have enough sense to stay hydrated. and that pertains to anywhere..... 3. safety begins with each individual...4. look into the mirror......5. in my day we didnt have management continually provide water..............we were not either enlightened or thought we were entitled.........

Especially with a name like Jose Cruz Rodriguez you’d think he’d be acclimated to working/living in high heat/humid environments… just saying
