With summer transportation projects already in full-swing, now is definitely the time to also take precautions against heat-related illness.
Our sister site, Total Landscape Care, has reported on an app from OSHA that calculates the heat index for a specified location, displays a risk level to outdoor workers and provides reminders about ways to prevent heat-related illness. The free app is available for Android, Blackberry and iPhone.
The app is part of a joint effort from PLANET and OSHA to raise awareness about the dangers of heat-related illness.
Though the information comes from our landscape-focused sister site, the risk of heat-related illness is not limited to landscapers. Check out the full story at totallandscapecare.com for more information about the dangers of heat-related illness and how to prevent it.
