Weather: Hot / Humid

Climate change is leading to an increase in extreme weather events, including heatwaves. This guidance will help your production plan and prepare for hot weather that may impact your production activity.

First it is important to understand why we need to take this hazard seriously. Exposure is the body’s inability to cope with a particular heat load, which includes heat cramps, heat rash, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Extremely urgent conditions include hot and dry skin, disorientation, confusion, and unconsciousness can quickly lead to organ failure and death without medical treatment.

This plan is broken down into 4 levels to help you plan and protect your production.
