For EHS Leaders
Chiller Body gives safety managers a simple cooling layer that fits inside existing hats and hard hats. It is easy to brief, easy to rotate from the cooler, and practical for pilot programs that need visible adoption on hot days.
Workers do not need to change uniforms or adopt powered equipment. Inserts fit inside many hats, hard hats, and helmets already in use.
The workflow is simple: freeze, insert, rotate from the cooler. That makes training and field adoption easier than more complicated cooling systems.
Most teams start with a pilot group and then expand to broader deployment once supervisors confirm comfort, usage, and rotation needs.
The fastest way to lose a heat initiative is to make the field process too complicated. Chiller Body works because the workflow stays simple and the equipment lives close to the people who need it. There are no batteries, no charging stations, and no new device training requirements.
For many teams, the right play is to pair inserts with the supervisor cooler, issue two per worker, and document usage inside your existing heat guidance. That turns cooling into something operational instead of optional.
Identify the hottest roles, shifts, tasks, or work zones first.
Issue at least two inserts per pilot user so rotation is possible.
Keep backups in an insulated cooler near the work area or supervisor station.
Pair the inserts with the hydration, shade, and rest-break guidance you already enforce.
Collect supervisor feedback after the first high-heat week and adjust quantity planning from there.
Start with exposed crews, route leads, or event teams where heat complaints and fatigue show up first.
Fold inserts into existing hydration, shade, and break guidance instead of creating a separate safety workflow.
The easiest cooling program to scale is the one workers can explain to each other in under thirty seconds.
The insert is designed to sit inside existing headwear without electronics or structural modification. Teams should still confirm fit and comfort with their own PPE policies, but the goal is to work within the gear workers already wear.
Start with the hottest crew or the roles with the highest direct-sun exposure. Provide a cooler, issue at least two inserts per user, and gather supervisor feedback on comfort, adoption, and rotation timing.
A common setup is two inserts per worker plus extras in the supervisor cooler. That gives teams a live insert and a backup insert without creating complicated charging or maintenance needs.
No. Safety managers use cooling inserts across construction, utilities, landscaping, warehousing, outdoor events, recreation operations, and other heat-exposed environments.
Yes. Chiller Body is designed for adult use and is not recommended for workers under 14 without direct adult supervision, and is not intended for anyone under 8 under any circumstances. Safety managers planning crews that include apprentices, summer hires, or youth workers should review the full guidance on our Safety Information page and incorporate it into onboarding.
