Prevention plan for
heat stress risks
heat stress risks
We create a specific plan adapted to the particularities of your activity and to the heat stress risks of your workers, through five main lines of action:
- Communication. Every year, when the season with a risk of extreme heat arrives, we issue communications to companies reminding them of the risk of carrying out demanding physical tasks at times of extreme heat or maximum sunshine and reminding them of the measures to adopt in the event of such tasks.
- Visits to work centres. We visit our clients‘ work sites to analyse in situ the possible risk situations for workers’ health caused by adverse weather conditions. We help workers and employers to implement the necessary prevention measures.
- Training campaign. In collaboration with the Apave Training School, we offer workers and companies the possibility of attending our various training centres to receive training and information on the risks of carrying out certain jobs in adverse weather conditions (heat, sunshine, lack of humidity, low ventilation, etc.) and the measures to be applied in each case.
- Management of PPE. We advise you on the cataloguing and selection of the optimum personal protective equipment (PPE) for each type of task, always looking for the combination of properties of each one of them (reduction of insolation, minimum heat input, WBGT index calculation, UNE-EN ISO 7933 Thermal Overload Index Method (IST), etc.) in order to select the most suitable for each case.
- Specific health surveillance. We carry out specific health examinations prior to carrying out certain jobs in hazardous conditions or even after events of severe exposure to heat that may have affected the worker, in order to determine their capacity to absorb heat and, therefore, their degree of aptitude for the task in question.
