Preparing for the Heat; Keep Workers Safe with Water, Shade, and Rest

 

The Monterey County Agricultural Commissioner is reminding growers of regulations related to heat protection requirements for workers. 

Summer is here and with it come the hot days.  Keep your workers safe by providing water, shade and rest during warm days.  For more information go online to https://www.99calor.org/english.html




Train your workers to recognize the symptoms of heat related illness.  Most common symptoms to look for when it comes to heat-related illnesses are headaches, dizziness, and profuse sweating. Major symptoms can lead to cramps, fainting or confusion.  Having an outlined prevention plan in place is beneficial if someone begins to experience a heat-related illness.

CalOSHA is the agency that oversees these requirements.
