The dangers of Heat Stress

Heat stress occurs when the body's means of controlling its internal temperature starts to fail. As well as air temperature, factors such as work rate, humidity and clothing worn while working may lead to heat stress

Any job that causes your body temperature to rise has the potential to cause heat stress. Even jobs carried out in air-conditioned environments.

There are a variety of ways to ensure workers keep safe from heat stress. At @Altrad our priority is to train workers to recognize the symptoms of heat stress in their co-workers, in themselves and understand how to act.
