Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Summer is in full swing, and OSHA wants construction companies to keep heat awareness top-of-mind. Thousands of workers unnecessarily fall ill to extreme heat each year, leading to fatalities in some instances. Heat illness is completely preventable and all construction workers should be fully educated on its signs and symptoms in order to stay healthy and productive on the job. OSHA's heat awareness campaign explains heat illness, who is at risk, how it can be prevented, and what to do when someone becomes ill on the job.
