Helping to keep  employees safe.

Working in heat can be hazardous and can cause harm to workers. The human body needs
to maintain a body temperature of approximately 37 degrees Celsius.
If the body has to work too hard to keep cool or starts to overheat a worker begins to suffer
from heat-related illness.
This is a general term to describe a range of progressive heat related conditions including
fainting, heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
Some other common effects of working in heat include:
− Heat rash. Skin can become irritated and cause discomfort when working in heat.
− Heat cramps. Muscles can cramp as a result of heavy sweating without replacing salt
and electrolytes.
− Fainting. Can occur when workers stand or rise from a sitting position.
− Dehydration. Increased sweating can lead to dehydration if workers aren’t drinking
enough water.
− Heat exhaustion. Occurs when the body is working too hard to stay cool.
− Heat stroke. Occurs when the body can no longer cool itself. This can be fatal.
− Burns. Can occur if a worker comes into contact with hot surfaces or tools.
− Slips. A worker will sweat more in hot conditions which can increase the risk of slips – for
example, a worker might slip when using sharp tools if their hands are damp.
− Reduced concentration. When working in heat it is more difficult to concentrate and a
worker may become confused. This means workers may be more likely to make
mistakes, such as forgetting to guard machinery.
− Increased chemical uptake into the body. Heat can cause the body to absorb
chemicals differently and can increase the side effects of some medications.
