During the summer months, it can regularly get above 90 degrees in Johnson City. This can pose a significant risk for Johnson City construction workers. If you are a construction worker or employer, you need to make sure you are taking proper precautions to protect yourself and your employees against heat-related illnesses.
As summer approaches and temperatures rise, construction employers must safeguard their employees against heat-related hazards. After all, workers who spend extended periods of time in hot or humid environments are at greater risk of experiencing heat-related illnesses, such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.
This month’s Construction Risk Advisor newsletter outlines best practices for safeguarding employees against heat-related illnesses on the Johnson City construction site. Read the whole newsletter.
