HEAT AND SUN SAFETY

During the summer season, it’s important to provide employees with the correct protection from extreme heat conditions and harmful UV rays.

Hydration plays an important role in staying alert, whether working outdoors at a construction site or in a hot indoor facility. Exerting energy without replenishing body fluids can be dangerous.

Working outdoors also puts workers at risk of harmful UV radiation that can cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Consider the following recommendations to help prevent excessive exposure to the damaging rays of sunlight:
• Wear tightly-woven clothing that blocks out light.
• Use sunscreen of at least SPF15 that protects against UVA and UVB rays.
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat that protects the face, ears, neck, and scalp.
• Try to minimize the time spent outside between 10:00am and 4:00pm.

INSECT PROTECTION

Whether workers are outdoors for a few hours or all day, taking some easy steps to prevent insect bites can help protect their health and safety. Mosquitoes and ticks can carry diseases such as West Nile virus, malaria, and Lyme disease. Other insects, such as bees and wasps, have potentially harmful stingers that could cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

Using insect repellents is an effective way to avoid being stung or bitten by insects. The duration of protection varies based on the length of outdoor activity, as well as the strength of the formula used. ZEE provides a wide selection of insect repellent formulas and bite relief products to meet a variety of individual needs.
