Heat Stress

How to Cope with Heat
  • Your body is always generating heat and passing it to the environment. The harder your body is working, the more heat it has to lose. When the environment is hot or humid or has a source of radiant heat (a furnace or the sun), your body must work harder to get rid of the heat. If the air is moving and it is cooler than your body, it easier for your body to pass heat to the environment.



Heat Stress
  • Heat stress occurs when the body temperature rises to above 38.5C (101.3F) and cannot cool off.
  • High temperature, humid, heat generated from equipment, and body heat may contribute to heat stress.
  • Heat stress can cause disorders ranging from heat cramps to heat stroke.
  • Heat stroke is very serious, as it can be fatal.

Symptoms

  • Irrational behavior, hot, dry skin, (with no sweating).
  • Loss of consciousness and collapse.
  • Co-workers who do not know the symptoms may think the victim is upset, intoxicated, or acting strangely.

Prevention / Recommendation

The following procedure should be followed to prevent heat stress:
  • Have cool drinking water available to all workers. Workers should drink approximately one cup of water every 20 minutes.
  • Workers should salt food well to replenish salts lost through perspiration (check with your doctor if you are on a low salt diet).
  • Wear clothing that is loose fitting, tightly woven, and light in colour to reflect the sunlight.
  • Do not consume excessive amounts of alcohol within 24 hours before working in a hot environment.
  • In extremely hot conditions, workers should take rest periods out of direct sunlight or heat source more often.
  • Workers on medication should check with their doctor before working in extreme temperatures.

Expand Your Look Ahead Capacity

Expanding your look-ahead capacity is one of the most important elements of Decision Driving. Being aware of what is happening in the distance gives you the time and space to make good decisions. If you observe other driver’s behaviors, you will begin to recognize those who are not looking ahead. They are the ones who slam on their brakes or swerve to avoid things they should have seen in the distance.

Looking ahead does not mean ignoring what’s right in front of you. It is a process of keeping your eyes moving from the area immediately around you to the road ahead and back.

By expanding your look-ahead capacity you will be better able to:
  • Keep your vehicle centered in its lane
  • See road signs in the distance
  • Recognize potential traffic problems
  • Select the proper lane and speed for conditions ahead
  • Enjoy a smoother, more relaxed drive

Examples
  • You see a green traffic light more than a block away (stale green) so you begin to slow down, knowing that it will probably change to red by the time you reach it.
  • You see cars ahead merging from the right, so you enhance everyone’s safety by signaling and moving to the left lane.
  • At night, you visually scan the entire length of your headlight beam so you are prepared for vehicles, animals, or anything else may appear in the road.

Practice expanding your look-ahead capacity
  • Glance ahead frequently to the area where you will be in the next eight to 12 seconds.
  • Check the center of your driving path well ahead, to make sure your vehicle stays centered in its lane.
  • In the city, watch at least two blocks ahead for traffic lights, pedestrians, moving vehicles, and hazardous conditions.
  • On highways, look as far ahead as possible to see and plan for hazardous conditions such as fog, ice patches, flooded areas, or debris in the road.
  • Watch for vehicles merging into your lane from entrance ramps.
  • Drive at a speed that allows you to stop within the distance covered by your headlights.

Help reduce the likelihood of vehicle accidents by always practicing the tips mentioned above.
Remain alert! A Decisive Driver is a safe driver.
