Today is National Heat Awareness Day - a good reminder that heat is not just uncomfortable, it can be dangerous.
On construction sites, roofing projects, utility work, excavation, paving, and other outdoor operations, heat stress can build quickly. By the time someone “looks” overheated, they may already be in trouble.
A strong heat illness prevention plan should include:
✅ Water, rest, and shade
✅ Acclimatization for new or returning workers
✅ Planning heavy work around peak heat when possible
✅ Supervisors trained to recognize early warning signs
✅ Emergency response procedures before they are needed
✅ A culture where workers feel comfortable speaking up
Heat safety is not just a summer topic. It is a planning, supervision, and leadership responsibility.
Protect your crews. Watch for each other. Take heat seriously.
