I have the experience on both situations: Natural heatwaves and heat produced by energy sources such as industrial electric furnaces. In the second case, working earlier to avoid the sun’s heat is not a partial solution since you find the same temperature in the workplace during 24 hr. In this case you can take some of the following measures, some already mentioned: - do temperatures vs resting time calculations chart with the help of Hygiene department, -make sure you have done medical tests to all workers, some might have restrictions or cannot do certain activities, -hydration is key, with electrolytes, -installed ventilation system and use specialized equipment with self breathing apparatus, -monitor temperatures and gases to adjust.

Extreme weather, especially heatwaves, can challenge productivity on construction sites. At GPS Renewables, we take a proactive approach to ensure both safety and efficiency: ✔ Early Start & Smart Scheduling – Adjusting work hours to cooler parts of the day helps our teams stay productive while avoiding peak heat. ✔ Hydration & Cooling Breaks – Mandatory water breaks and shaded rest areas keep workers refreshed and focused. ✔ Task Rotation & PPE – Rotating duties prevents prolonged exposure, and using lightweight, breathable PPE enhances comfort. ✔ Monitoring & First Aid Preparedness – Keeping an eye on signs of heat stress and training teams for quick response ensures well-being. #ConstructionSafety #HeatwaveManagement #Productivity

Good supervisor and good team with best communication and reporting everything will work professionally, with safety and quality job

This already we have faced before,this can be controlled by the follow points: - Always prioritize the project team safety. - Develope Adverse weather working conditions which highlights the key factors to manage the Heat stess, or stroke - Reschedule the working activities with the project management, it would be required to have night shift work considering night work risk assessment. - Ensure that the project team is aware about Heat stress, stroke symptoms. Provide the proper welfare Facilities. - Regular brakes to be provided for the project team. - Providing the Emergency Equipments in case of some one have heat stroke as it could be Fatal. Above is a brief
