It continues to be ridiculously hot out there through the end of the week until the weekend. I have spoken with many contractors this week just in from a hot roof or enclosed space and people are feeling the heat.

Be sure to take breaks, have lots of water on hand, and watch out for any heat-related illnesses. Please. Use the fact sheet below as a quick reference and be sure to discuss in morning safety briefings.

Stay safe and productive - you can't spray foam from a hospital bed. Take that extra 15 minutes and cool off to avoid injury, much more costly and time consuming days, and loss of productivity among your workers.

Have your workers use cooling beanies and cooling vests as another way to stay cool!
