Keep Cool

 

Did you know that heat is the #1 weather-related cause of fatalities? Here are some tips to stay cool, hydrated and healthy in hot work environments*

  • Know the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses; monitor yourself and co-workers
  • If possible, block out direct sun or other heat sources; use cooling fans/air conditioning
  • Rest regularly
  • Drink lots of water or sports beverage -- about 1 cup every 15 minutes
  • Wear lightweight, light colored, loose fitting clothes and a hat for sun protection
  • Avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and heavy meals
  • Use SPF-15 or higher sunscreen

Stay Safe

Leading hazards at construction sites*

  • Falls: Consistently account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry. If you have employees that work 6' or more above a lower level, you must provide fall protection.
  • Electrical: Has long been recognized as a serious workplace hazard. Fastenal can provide products to help prevent electric shock and fires on the job site.
  • Motor Vehicle Safety/Highway Zones: Workers are at risk of serious or fatal injury when working in the vicinity of passing motorists, construction vehicles, and equipment. Help keep them safe with high visibility clothing.

On the Job
