Cooking – when working in hot kitchens, it can be common to suffer from heat stroke, even in colder weather. However, when you add summer heat to the heat and intensity of the sun, you can find that the temperatures reach an unbearable level.
Offices – if your office has lots of windows and you find that the sun streams in through these windows, you might want to look at having a Brise Soleil like the ones from alusystems.uk/ installed. These help to prevent the sunlight from streaming in through the windows and increasing the temperature inside your office space.
Outdoor work – those who work outside such as labourers and landscapers are often affected more by the weather than most people. It is important that during the summer months that outdoor workers take regular breaks and stay hydrated. They will also need access to shady places and areas where they can cool down. It is important that they are aware of the symptoms of heat stroke and that medical attention is available for them should they need it.
