ATLAS Occupational Safety and Hearing Conservation
For workplace safety and worker engagement
With record high Summer temperatures, it is important to know about the dangers of a silent workplace hazard - HEAT
-
Heat is the leading weather-related killer
-
It also exacerbates existing health problems like asthma, kidney failure, and heart disease
-
It affects those working outdoors and indoors
-
It reduces sound quality of hearing aids and can even damage the aids
-
Heat stress killed 815 U.S. workers and seriously injured more than 70,000 workers (1992-2017)
-
However, it is a highly underestimated hazard
We are participating in OSHA's Beat the Heat campaign with infographics to raise knowledge of this hazard so that you can help yourself and others.
Be a cool hero!
