Have you ever noticed that some people seem to weather the heat or the cold better than others? It’s not your imagination. Studies show that people who become acclimatized to hot or cold weather, through gradual exposure to these conditions, experience real physiological changes that help them fare the weather better.
Find out what steps you can take to acclimatize your body before the dog days of summer hit by reading this safety share on heat stress and acclimatization, courtesy of Julie Hanebuth (ESQ).
Please share this info with your colleagues and/or staff.
Beginning each meeting with a safety share is a great way to break the ice, begin team building from the onset of meetings and keep safety at the forefront of our minds each and every day.
The Safety Share Library is binned by topic area, providing a variety of resources for your convenience.
All employees, groups and divisions are encouraged to submit safety shares for inclusion in the library. Submission details are available on Inside Argonne.
Each month a safety share submitted by an individual will be selected by Environment, Safety and Quality Assurance to receive a Spot Award for demonstrated safety leadership. The Spot Award program offers three award levels: gold ($100), silver ($50) and bronze ($25).
