Best Question:

What should we tell managers during/ahead of this week’s heat wave?

A huge swath of the U.S. is under an extreme heat warning this week, including most of the central and eastern parts of the country. As we prepare for the holiday weekend, too, we’re actually much less worried about infectious diseases and more concerned with heat illness. 

‍

Specifically, we’re worried about employees getting sick (and even dying) at home, on their way to work, and on the job. If your employees take public transit or walk to work, keep in mind that the feels-like temp is pushing 110°F in some places this week. Workers may be dehydrated or overheated before they even start their shift, and may be more likely to “push through” on a busy holiday weekend. 

‍

In some areas, your team may also need a plan for power outages. Be sure they’re clear on when they need to close for food safety or employee health. Remind managers limit outdoor work on super hot days, and ensure cooling shade or A/C breaks and hydration for both indoor and outdoor workers. 

‍

This week is also a great time to remind managers of the basics of heat illness, including the symptoms to look out for, and how to respond. Check out this simple one-page graphic from NIOSH to help them spot the signs. Don’t let “heroic” team players keep working if they’re showing signs of heat exhaustion or stroke - get them cooled down ASAP!

Best Listen:

This week, we really appreciated this 9-minute NPR story about the news media who cover dangerous stories - from war to the current Ebola outbreak - and the risks they balance. Much like doctors and public health officers, they have to find a relatively safe way to do their duty to the public. We’re grateful to them for our understanding of the situation on the ground!
