What’s the labor law (if any) on work uniforms and heat?

To explain, I live in Oregon and I work in an auto shop with no air conditioning and it's summer time where it's gonna be over 100 in the shop this summer. Management wants us to wear pants and long sleeved shirts to be more professional looking. With no cooling in the shop, doing physical labor and working on hot ass cars all day, is there anything that states you can wear shirt and a t shirt? Because thats what we usually do but now we are being threatened to be sent home for doing so.
