Working in hot weather can be tiring and stressful. Anyone performing tough manual jobs indoors or outdoors in unconditioned air spaces in the hot and humid climate is vulnerable to occupational hazards like heat stress. The combination of physical labour, humidity and heat can lead to extreme fatigue, causing weakness and illnesses serious enough to miss work. However, basic precautions can prevent many heat-related hazards and injuries. It is necessary to know how to protect workers.
First and foremost, encourage workers to wear light-coloured, loose fitting and lightweight clothing. Workers should promptly change their clothes if they get saturated. Comfortable trousers are a key element of any workwear. Features that you should essentially look for are water-repellent fabric, pillow style pocket for knee pads, deep front pockets along with additional multi layer hanging pocket and Ruler pocket with additional pocket.
Easy single handed access to a mobile phone pocket comes in handy. Expanding rear pockets help keep nails, screws or small parts. In-built features in trousers like additional tool pockets, D Ring for keys or ID badge and hammer loop are recommended.
