Last week’s record-breaking heat wave is a good reminder for all employers to continually manage the risks of heat in the workplace. Whether your business operates indoors or outdoors, Safe Work Australia’s website offers an online checklist and guide for managing the risks of working in heat which are great resources for employers.
At the same time, make sure you stock up on everything you need to keep workers cool and hydrated so you always have it to hand. From icy poles to water, cooling neck ties and broad brimmed hats, here’s a list of our favourites to help get you started (https://www.winc.com.au/main-catalogue-browse?N=4293891068 ).
Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss risks and current or proposed additional controls with our expert Health Hygiene and Safety team.
