Heat, humidity, and longer periods of daylight mean hot work days and a greater risk for heat-related injuries. No wonder they call the summer months the dog days of summer. But work has to be done and workers in the construction, oil and gas, asbestos removal, painting, and landscaping fields have no way of avoiding exposure to high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat illness can be deadly\u2026 but it\u2019s preventable. In one year, OSHA reported nearly 3,000 workers suffered heat-related illnesses while on the job. Don\u2019t let that happen to you or your employees! Avoid becoming a statistic by following some simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Employers:<\/strong>&nbsp;If an employee is exposed to high temperatures and becomes injured, you could be cited. Per OSHA, you\u2019re responsible for providing workplaces free of known safety hazards. This includes protecting all workers from extreme heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protect workers from overexertion by&nbsp;communicating the heat index&nbsp;to them or posting heat index posters throughout your work space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For everyone working outside, both air temperature and humidity contribute to how hot it really feels, also known as the heat index. The heat index is a single value that takes both temperature and humidity into account. The higher the heat index, the hotter the weather feels, since sweat does not easily evaporate and cool the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Heat Stress Posters<\/h3><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin-left: auto; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin-right: auto;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><a title=\"Don't Wait.
