Construction workers are at higher risk of heat related illnesses due to working long hours outside. It is important to take precautions and prepare for heat related illnesses on a jobsite. CPWR has created a page of resources about heat hazards and preventing heat related illnesses in construction.
From CPWR:
Construction workers, who often work outdoors in direct sunlight or in hot, enclosed spaces, are at risk for heat-related illnesses and, in severe cases, death. Rising global temperatures in recent decades increase that risk. However, these illnesses and deaths are preventable.
The resources are organized by topic and contain information about heat hazards in construction and ways to prevent related illnesses.
