You don’t have to be spending hours out in the sun to become susceptible to the impact of heat stress. Summer heat can just as easily become a serious safety concern in indoor environments such as warehouses, workshops and manufacturing facilities.
Radiant heat can easily penetrate a building's roof and raise workplace temperatures to an unsafe level, especially in situations where workers are engaged in strenuous or prolonged physical activity.
Adequate hydration, ventilation and scheduled rest breaks are all essential control measures in regulating body temperature in hot environments.
Specifying the right workwear for the job at hand is also a key control measure in combatting heat stress. The right workwear can help to reduce heat build-up while you work, allowing you to manage and control your body temperature
to reduce the risk of overheating.
