OSHA Offers Advice on Working in Summer Heat
    Summer officially begins on June 20, but hot weather is already upon us in many areas of the country. During this time of year, it is especially important to pay attention to heat stress and other dangers posed by the summer sun. OSHA reminds readers of its free downloadable resources, such as the Heat Stress QuickCard^? (English/Spanish) that employees can use to reduce the risk of health ailments from working in hot temperatures. Also, OSHA's Working Outdoors in Warm Climates fact sheet features more information on heat stress and other summer-weather hazards.
