WOHIS Health and safety Minute:


It's June and time to be talking about heat stress.  WOHIS wants to remind everyone what you can do to protect yourself against heat stress:

  Drink more water

  Increase rest break periods

Reduce your pace of work and most important: Recognize the signs and  symptoms of heat stress, which include:

  headache, dizziness, excessive sweating, cramping, rashes, and fainting.

  Start a buddy system, since people will probably not notice their own symptoms.
  If you are suffering from heat stress, get to a cooler location and take a break.

  Employers have a duty to take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of a worker.  This includes ensuring a worker is protected from heat stress by developing and implementing hot environment  policies and procedures.

  Heat stress is an important workplace health and safety issue.

For more information on this or any other health and safety related topic, please
