Did somebody say heatwave?🔥👋 Don’t forget to protect yourself and your staff working outside in the blazing heat. Here is a heatwave protection checklist: ✅ Hydration - As the temperatures soar, it’s imperative to stay hydrated, especially when doing hard manual labour. Remember to keep water bottles topped up throughout the day so you never run out. ✅ UV protection - Bare skin must be shielded from the sun, particularly during midday, to avoid burns. Covering up with clothing is best, and any exposed skin needs frequent application of sunscreen. ✅ Take breaks - Short breaks every hour prevent heat exhaustion. Rest in shaded or cool areas to recover. ✅ Ice Cream - Perhaps not mandatory from a health and safety point of view, but will certainly lift everyone’s spirits during the extreme weather! Keep cool and stay safe out there!☀️🧴 #safety #ppe #workwear #sunny #summer #construction #highways #roadworks

Extreme Heat Alert! Working in the energy and power generation industries means facing the heat, literally! Heatwaves are no joke, especially in our industry, that is why we have provided tips for our employees to stay cool and safe while working: 1. Stay Hydrated Our bodies are made up of about 60% of water, and maintaining this balance is crucial for our health. This doesn't just mean water - fruits and vegetables can also contribute to your hydration levels. 2. Take Regular Breaks Taking regular breaks allows your body to cool down and prevent overheating, which can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. 3. Use a Fan This can be especially helpful in humid conditions where sweat evaporation is slower. 4. Always Wear Sunscreen It's important to use a sunscreen with a high SPF (sun protection factor), even on cloudy days, as UV rays can still penetrate through the clouds. 5. Find Shade This is especially important between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest. 6. Wear Light Clothing It's also a good idea to wear loose, breathable fabrics, like cotton or linen, as they allow air to circulate and heat to escape from your body. As leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure our team's safety in extreme heat. Regular training, proper equipment, and awareness can truly make a difference. Let's lead by example! #heatsafety #Industrialsafety #staycool #energyjobs

As the temperature rises and summer approaches, it's important to keep heat safety in mind. Remember to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest parts of the day. #HeatSafety #SummerSafety

HEAT Lesson One An essential requirement for continued normal body function is that the deep body core temperature be maintained within the acceptable range of about 98.6oF (37oC) ±1.8oF (1oC). To achieve this body temperature equilibrium, a constant exchange of heat between the body and the environment takes place. The environmental exchanges depend on air temperature, humidity, skin temperature, air velocity, evaporation of sweat, radiant temperature and clothing worn. If you are unsure of the Heat Stress Potential that your employees are exposed to, contact EH&S (me) to conduct Heat Stress Monitoring. Individuals at Risk • All individuals who work in hot environments (inside and outside) are at risk of developing heat stress. • More intense and strenuous workloads, put individuals at a greater risk. • Wearing PPE such as respirators and protective suits can also increase this risk. Environmental Factors • Temperature • Humidity • Radiant Heat • Air Velocity Personal Factors • Age • Weight • Fitness Acclimatization – increased tolerance to heat that comes from working in a hot environment for a period 1-2 week #heat #safetyfirst #safetyculture #safetytraining #healthandsafety

🌡️🔥 Feeling the heat at work? Stay safe and beat indoor heat stress! Did you know that working in hot indoor environments can pose serious risks to our health and productivity? Indoor heat stress is a significant concern in the industrial sector, where high temperatures are common. We've got some tips to help you stay cool, comfortable, and focused at work: • Know the signs: Dizziness, fatigue, and rapid heartbeat are symptoms of heat stress. Stay vigilant! • Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: Drink plenty of fluids to combat heat stress and stay at your best. • Ventilation matters: Open windows or use fans to keep your workspace cool and productive. • Dress for safety: Wear lightweight, breathable clothing in light colors or cooling PPE. • Protect yourself: Apply sunscreen and wear protective gear indoors too. • Utilize cooling stations: Seek relief in designated cool areas if available.
