Revised heat stress bulletin released by MOL
The Ministry of Labour has a revised heat stress guideline to assist employers, workers and others in understanding the dangers, and to develop and implement policies to prevent heat stress-related illness in the workplace. When hot, humid conditions and physical activity overcome the body’s natural cooling system, you may suffer cramps and fainting, or even serious heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The bulletin is for all employees initiate the issue to be a topic of discussion for the next safety tailgate. A chart is available on the heat stress web page.
