Summer heat can put more than just your equipment under pressure — it puts your workers at serious risk. Whether you're managing a construction site or overseeing a manufacturing floor without climate control, heat stress is a real hazard that demands proactive safety measures.
What Is Heat Stress?
Heat stress occurs when the body can’t regulate its internal temperature. Left unchecked, it can lead to fatigue, dehydration, heat exhaustion, or even fatal heat stroke. In both construction and industrial environments, heat stress can strike quickly, particularly during high-exertion tasks or in poorly ventilated spaces.
