Working in the heat can cause a range of health conditions, putting your people at risk, especially during the summer months. Requiring workers to perform their jobs in hot conditions also requires the employer to do everything possible to protect employees, helping them work in high temperatures safely.

When exposed to extreme heat, people become at risk for either heat exhaustion, heat rashes, or heat stroke. The effects of heat stress can vary from mild to life-threatening, which is why noticing symptoms and treating them early can be crucial to saving a life.
