Glenn Frey sang, "You can make a break, you can win or lose, that’s a chance you take, when the heat’s on you," in his song, "The Heat is On." Glenn was on to something — you can win or lose when the heat is on.
For example, when working year-round in an occasionally heat-intensive industry, unsuitable clothing may not protect workers from the elements. Workers may feel the heat. If improper work clothing is worn during the swell of summer or warmer temps, workers will not only physically feel the effects, but the environment around them may also become unbearable. Prolonged exposure can put workers’ health at risk, which is why the best way to beat the heat in the summer is to dress appropriately in lightweight arc-rated and flame resistant (AR/FR) garments. layer task-based protective clothing to single-layer breathable daily wear will keep workers cooler on the job and significantly lower the risk of heat stress.
