Do You Or Your Workers Suffer From Heat Related Illnesses During The Summer Months? 

ABL Can Help With Our Range Of Heat Stress Products!

Working in the hot Australian sun can be extremely taxing on the body and could create adverse effects with the most extreme being fatal.

Our human body needs to maintain an approximate temperature of 37 degrees celsius to function correctly.

If our body works too hard to keep cool or begins to overheat, a worker will suffer from a heat-related illness.

This includes (but is not limited to): Heat Rash: Skin becomes irritated and cause discomfort Heat Cramps: Muscles cramp due to heavy sweating without replacing sodium and electrolytes Fainting: Can sometimes occur when rising from a sitting position and is caused from dehydration or heat stress Heat Exhaustion: Body working too hard to keep cool Dehydration: Not drinking enough water Heat Stroke: Body can no longer work to cool itself

The Cancer Council is a great way to research ways you can help keep you and your workers safe in the sun. Founded in 1961, the Cancer Council has been the premier sun safety organisation in Australia assisting many companies and organisations ensure their sun smart policies are current and protecting their workers.

80% of Australians suffer from dehydration daily, so it is extremely important to keep hydration up throughout the day whether you are out in the sun or in an office.

• For construction workers or those working outside, it is recommended you drink between 500ml and 1L every hour.
• For office staff or those doing sedentary work it is recommended to drink between 2L and 3L a day. 
• Whilst coffee and tea are composed primarily of water it is crucial to recognise your caffeine intake for the day as caffeine can assist in dehydration.
