OHCOW - Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers
We all generally recognize the hazards of being in the sun during the summer months, but we often don’t realize how the heat can affect the way we work and our workplace Ergonomics. Many people work in the heat, not only in the summer, but all year round. In this podcast we will discuss the hazards of working in the heat as well as the ergonomic risk factors and prevention strategies to minimize injury and heat related disorders.
