Construction workers face some of the highest risks for heat-related illness and injury. Long days, physical work and relentless Texas temperatures make planning for heat exposure an essential part of protecting your crew.
Before the workday gets away from you, make sure your heat safety plan includes:
๐ง Cool drinking water close to the work area
โฑ๏ธ Accessible shade for recovery
โฑ๏ธ Adjusted work/rest cycles as the heat index climbs
๐ก๏ธ Acclimatization plans for new and returning workers
๐ท Crews who know the warning signs and when to speak up Heat illness is preventable.
A little planning before the shift can make a big difference by the end of it.
