July 22, 2019 | by: NDA

As temperatures rise in New England, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reminds employers to protect their employees from the dangers of working in hot weather.

OSHA's message is simple: Water. Rest. Shade. Employers should encourage workers to drink water every 15 minutes, and take frequent rest breaks in shaded areas. Employers should:

Encourage workers to drink water every 15 minutes; and take frequent rest breaks in the shade to cool down;
Develop an emergency plan that explains what to do when a worker shows signs of heat-related illness;
Train workers on the hazards of heat exposure, and how to prevent illness; and
Allow workers to build a tolerance for working in heat.
