KNOW THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN
HEAT EXHAUSTION
AND
HEAT STROKE
Last October, Gelderman Landscape Services received a visit from the Ministry of Labour requesting to see our Heat Stress Policy. The representative did not like our response when we questioned the need for a Heat Stress Policy in October. We did comply and shared the policy. The representative also asked if all our staff members were aware of our policy and knew the details of our policy.
With the summer months upon us, we have already experienced Heat Stress. We now send out Heat Stress Warnings (see sample) to all our staff via EZTEXT. During our employee orientation, Heat Stress Prevention is included all year round.
Contact me directly if you are interested in a copy of the Gelderman Landscape Services Heat Stress Prevention Policy.
