Extreme Heat

As summer temperatures and humidity levels rise, workers are more likely to suffer from the effects of occupational heat stress and exposure. Extreme heat conditions can lead to serious illness, loss of productivity and downtime, but luckily there are measures that companies can put into place to help prevent these issues. Engineering controls including ventilation, strategic work/rest scheduling, personnel shelters and active hydration all go a long way toward keeping everyone safe. Grainger can also provide support with a wide range of targeted products to help you stay cool.
