Protecting H-2B and H-2A Workers from Heat Stress
From Edward Silva, CEO at másLabor
One major concern for H-2B and H-2A workers is heat stress. Working outdoors for extended periods can increase the risk of heat exhaustion, heat rash, and even heat stroke.
How do you protect your workers?
Know the signs and symptoms of heat illness - use a buddy system to monitor one another.
Block out direct sun.
Provide plenty of water - everyone should drink water every 15 minutes.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Wear lightweight, light colored clothing.
Protect yourself and your team!
