Heat stress is a silent killer
prevalent in many settings and can take its toll on workers in the blink of an
eye.
The key is to remember that there are
easy ways to combat heat stress and to ensure workers safety from the inside
out. We are taught to wear hard hats for
head protection, steel toe shoes for foot protection, and safety glasses for
eye protection, but what about our internal systems? Workers can combat heat stress before their
shift ever begins by following a few easy steps.
What is Heat
Stress or Heat Fatigue?
Mental fatigue can be a result of heat
stress and can lead to workers becoming complacent or disoriented. Workers who are mentally fatigued have a hard
time focusing on tasks which could lead to accidents and injuries in the
workplace.
Finding a solution that is right for
the employees should be started by writing a solid heat stress plan. Understanding the working conditions, ambient
temperatures, and stress on the body are all factors that should be
explored. Also, providing the workforce
with a product that protects from the inside out can help tremendously.
We have found that many products
offered in the industrial market currently are loaded with artificial chemicals
and sugar that the body has a hard time filtering. This can complicate the issues with heat
stress rather than offering a solution.
Sword Performance has come into the
industrial market with a new and innovative product. Sword has zero artificial sweeteners and is
all natural which allow the workers a healthy solution for hydration. Companies can feel confident when they offer
this type of product that their worker will be well protected.
