If you can’t take the heat … that probably means you’re a normal person. And if you’re too hot on the job, that’s not cool — and also a potential OSHA violation.
Did you know it is considered a heat wave any day where the predicted high temperature will be at least 80 degrees, and at least 10 degrees higher than the average high daily temperature in the preceding five days? As temperatures rise this summer, be sure to follow the required steps to prevent heat-related illness:
Train all employees about heat illness prevention
Provide at least four 8-ounce glasses of water per employee per hour
Provide access to shade and encourage employees to rest
