Work Environments Not Effected by Outside Weather

Now that the weather across the US is headed for the big freeze, it’s easy to forget that many work environments remain excessively hot year around, due to ovens, smelters, boilers, engines, furnaces, or other heat producing equipment and operations. In these work zones, the danger of workers suffering from a heat illness is just as high in December and January as in the middle of summer. The hazards are present every day, because these heat generating processes drive the heat and humidity to dangerous levels even when the ground outside is covered in snow. 

Dangerous Hot Work Zones Need to be Monitored

NOAA and OSHA are drilling down on these dangers because heat illnesses are serious. They may be debilitating, or even deadly and work environments need to be monitored. If the industrial processes in your facility generate excessive heat, your employees need to know when the heat index reaches a dangerous level so they can follow your SOP to mitigate their exposure. The best way to alert them to these conditions is with HeatAlert™ Monitoring Stations in all your perpetually hot work zones.

Simple Solution to Alert Employees

HeatAlert™ Monitoring Stations are easy to install, 24/7 monitoring devices, that alert all employees whenever the heat index reaches a dangerous level so workers can take steps to reduce their risk of succumbing to heat illness. These tools provide visible information to employees and sends an email to a supervisor whenever the index reaches a moderate or dangerous level.  

Heat Illness is Possible Even When It’s Freezing Outside

It seems almost counterintuitive that employees could suffer from a heat induced illness when there’s snow on the ground outside, but some packaging facilities, bakeries, foundries, and other production facilities, are dangerously humid and hot year around. If you have one of these dangerous work zones it should be outfitted with HeatAlert™ Monitoring Stations.

…And When It’s Freezing Outside…

In addition to providing HeatAlert™ Monitoring Stations inside your facilities you may need to outfit your outdoor stairwells, sidewalks, and parking lots with IceAlert®  Safety Products when it’s freezing outside, to let people “see” that dangerous icy conditions are present. Preventing an injurious fall on icy steps or a collision on a slippery roadway, is better than paying for an employee’s recovery.
