• Limiting time spent in heat-intensive environments
• Increasing airflow in workspaces
• Offering potable water that is easily accessible
• Designating a person to monitor conditions of workers

Heat-related illnesses can be life-threatening if left untreated and include heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. Training your employees to know the signs of these conditions and how to respond is crucial. But being proactive is the best way to approach safety in the workplace. Think about the concept of preventive maintenance: one typically thinks of equipment and machinery. It is a proactive strategy that serves to extend the lifespan of company assets. However, when it comes to personnel, a company’s most valued asset, providing a safe work environment through workplace strategies, is only half the battle. Consider implementing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to help mitigate the risks of heat-related illnesses.

Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Compliant Fresh Air Supply System

29 CFR 1910.134 states that:

“(a) Permissible practice. (1) In the control of those occupational diseases caused by breathing air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors, the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination.”

To avoid and prevent any occupational diseases from manifesting, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved respirators and hoods can be connected to these portable breathing air blowers. In addition, the breathing air blowers can also act as a stand-alone air source.

Of course, for these breathing air blowers to be OSHA compliant, they must be placed in clean, Grade “D” breathable air as stated in 29 CFR 1910.

Maximize Productivity

These devices help with maximizing productivity by not increasing the breathing air to the wearer resulting in fewer breaks and stoppages to occur.

Because these are portable devices, weighing only 12 lbs., the fresh air can continue to be dispensed no matter where you are on the worksite.  And, because of the continuous fresh air, fewer breaks have to occur to get out of the harmful environment.
