Excessive heat warnings have been issued in Phoenix as summer comes to full swing and temperatures reach scorching highs. It’s important to understand the risks of being exposed to extreme heat for long periods of time. Heat stroke and heat exhaustion are just a couple of dangers that result from unsafe heat exposure.
Many Valley residents are required to work outside, which puts some employees at risk of heat stress, which can result in occupational illnesses and injuries including heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes.
Prevention of heat stress is important for employers to be cognizant of, and companies like Cox Communications are at the forefront of making employee safety a top priority, going out of their way to provide field technicians who are outside all day visiting homes, businesses and working on our network, with extra water, towels and other heat prevention aids.
Many of the precautionary tactics Cox uses can also help Valley residents who are in and out of the heat during the hot summer months. Follow these safeguards and tips for enduring the heat:
• Hydrate with plenty of water before you feel thirsty
• Avoid drinks high in sugar and caffeine
• Keep an extra case of bottled water in your vehicle for emergencies
• Dress in light colored clothing if possible and wear SPF
• Take frequent breaks if you work outdoors
• Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat
• Seek immediate emergency help if you feel nauseous or experience cramps
Cox also provides its field technicians with summer uniforms consisting of short sleeves, shorts and wide brimmed hats. The techs work summer hours in July and August with decreased service calls during the hottest hours of the day between 3 and 5 p.m. There is no service done in attics after 10 a.m. and employees have the option to begin their workday at 7 a.m.
