    Heat Stress, Hydration & Working Outdoors: Prevention Strategies

    Summer heat in a warehouse or out on the yard can be brutal. You feel it the second you step out—thick air, hot surfaces, sweat starting almost instantly. And if you’re lifting, moving, or on your feet all day, it’s more than just uncomfortable. It can turn dangerous before you know it.

    A strong Safety Culture means we don’t just react when something happens. We plan. That’s especially true with heat stress. The trick is staying ahead of it—hydrating, pacing yourself, and knowing when to slow down.

    Here’s what helps most when the temperature climbs:

    1. Keep water close, and drink it.
    Not soda. Not energy drinks. Water. Take a few gulps every 15 to 20 minutes, even if you’re not thirsty. Thirst is a late warning sign.
    2. Step into shade or cooler areas whenever you can.
    Those short breaks—just a few minutes—make a difference. You’ll notice that your breathing slows down and your energy returns more quickly.
    3. Watch each other’s backs.
    The buddy system works. If your partner looks pale, starts acting a little off, or seems extra tired, speak up. Please don’t assume they’ll say something first.
    4. Shift heavy work away from the hottest hours.
    Late morning to mid-afternoon is when the sun’s at its worst. If there’s a job that can be done earlier or later, reschedule it. Your body will thank you.
    5. Build up to the heat.
    Coming back from vacation? New to the crew? Take it slow. Pushing full speed on day one is asking for trouble.

    Heat-related illness doesn’t tap you on the shoulder and say, “Hey, I’m coming.” It can hit fast—headache, dizziness, muscle cramps, and then it’s a fight to cool down.

    Listen to your body. If you feel drained or foggy, take a moment to rest and cool off. And if you see someone struggling, get help. No job is worth pushing past the point of safety.

    The bottom line—beat the heat before it beats you. Hydrate often. Rest in the shade. Look out for your crew. Do those things every hot day, and you’ll keep yourself and your team in the clear.

    Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

    Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

    Heat Stress, Hydration & Working Outdoors: Recognizing Heat-Related Illnesses

    Working in high temperatures can be dangerous. Heat stress isn’t just an outdoor problem. It can also happen inside a warehouse, especially when ventilation is poor or equipment generates excessive heat. Heat-related illnesses can escalate fast, so recognizing the signs and acting quickly is critical.

    One of the top priorities of a solid Safety Culture is keeping everyone healthy and alert in hot conditions. That starts with understanding what heat stress looks like and how to prevent it. Whether you’re on the loading dock or deep inside storage areas, hydration and awareness can save lives.

    Here are a few tips to assist you with recognizing heat-related illnesses:

    Watch for Early Symptoms

    Dizziness, fatigue, and muscle cramps are often early signs of heat stress. If you notice these in yourself or someone else, act immediately.

    Know the Difference Between Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke

    Heat exhaustion often includes heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. Heat stroke is far more severe. It can cause confusion, fainting, or seizures. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and needs immediate attention.

    Respond Quickly to Emergencies

    If someone shows signs of heatstroke, call emergency services immediately. Move them to a cool area. Remove extra clothing and use cool water or wet cloths to lower their body temperature.
    Monitor Yourself and Your Team

    Check in with coworkers throughout the shift. People often push through discomfort, which can be dangerous in the heat. A quick check can prevent a serious incident.

    Stay Ahead of Dehydration

    Drink water often, not just when you feel thirsty. Encourage others to do the same. Avoid energy drinks and soda, as they can increase the risk of dehydration.

    Heat-related illnesses don’t happen instantly. They build up as the body struggles to regulate its temperature. That’s why prevention and awareness are so important. Make it part of your routine to monitor facility temperatures, provide cool or shaded rest areas, and remind everyone to hydrate.

    By spotting the warning signs early and acting promptly, you can prevent minor problems from escalating into emergencies. Safety is a team effort, and that includes protecting one another from heat stress throughout the entire warehouse.

    Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

    Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

    Electrical Safety Awareness: Emergency Response

    Electrical hazards can turn routine tasks into life-threatening situations in seconds. Knowing how to respond during an electrical emergency is critical to protecting lives. Quick, correct action can prevent further injury and even save a co-worker’s life. A strong safety culture starts with awareness and preparation.

    When an electrical incident occurs, panic often sets in. That’s why training and clear procedures matter. Every second counts, and your actions can make a massive difference in the outcome. Remember, electricity is silent and invisible, so never assume a scene is safe until you confirm it.

    Here are a few tips to assist you with emergency response to electrical incidents:

    1. Never touch a person still in contact with electricity. Electricity will travel through them and into you. Stay back until the power is off.
    2. Shut off the power source immediately. Be aware of the location of the main circuit breakers and shutoff points in your area. Practice finding them during safety drills.
    3. Call emergency services without delay. After the power is off, dial 911 or your local emergency number. Provide clear information on the situation and the injured person’s condition.
    4. Do not use metal tools to move live wires. If you must move something to disconnect power, use only non-conductive materials, such as dry wood or a fiberglass rod—but only if necessary for safety.
    5. Get trained in basic first aid and CPR. If the person isn’t breathing or has no pulse after power is cut, begin CPR if you’re taught—every minute counts.
    Responding effectively means planning. Walk through your facility and familiarize yourself with the location of electrical panels and emergency shutoffs. Please make sure they’re accessible at all times. Blocked panels waste precious seconds in an emergency.

    Invest time in regular electrical safety training. Encourage team members to stay current on CPR and first aid certification. When everyone knows what to do, the risk of panic drops and response times improve.

    Electrical emergencies are rare, but they’re unforgiving. Your knowledge and quick action can make the difference between a close call and a tragedy. Stay alert, stay informed, and prioritize safety above all else.
