How cooling can benefit your outdoor workforce
With summer fast approaching, many of our Clients in the UAE & GCC have work forces working outside or in warehouses and factories. These areas can heat up to the ambient temperature which is 40 – 46 degree Celsius in summer.
The effects of heat on people working in hot conditions include fatigue, poor concentration, heat stroke, sickness and organ failure.
Andrews Sykes would like to offer some safety tips:
Drinks loads of water: avoid caffeinated & alcoholic drinks. Sugary/soda drinks take longer than water & sports drinks to be absorbed by the body so avoid these if working outdoors.
