Decreasing the risk of heat stress and illness by wearing PPE that is designed to limit the risk of heat stress, overheating, exhaustion, and severe conditions such as melanoma skin cancer.
UV-specific PPE can protect personnel during extreme heat and blistering sun, such as:
• Garments with UV protection – including shirts, trousers, and high-vis
• UV protection eyewear – goggles to block sun rays
• Sunscreen and cream
Standard PPE should still be worn in extreme heat, including hard hats, safety boots and high-vis vests.
Protecting your workforce is very important as impaired personnel suffering from the effects of sun and heat could cause load falls, property damage and accidents on site, leaving you liable.
