OSHA is cracking down on heat stress in the work environment, and products such as Chiller Body offer part of the solution. Whether you work indoors next to flaming ovens or outdoors on steaming hot roofs, the risk of suffering from heat stress is a genuine threat.
According to Equipment World, OSHA's findings state that construction workers had the highest risk of heat-related deaths. The fatality rate is 13 times higher than in other industries.
One way to protect employees is to provide them with PPE like Chiller Body's cooling hat inserts, which can reduce the risk of heat stress when shade is unavailable.
