Putting the health and productivity of asphalt workers first is very important, especially during the hot summer months. Make sure that breaks are taken often in cool or shady places to keep from getting too hot. Our employees wear clothes that are light and airy, as well as wide-brimmed hats to protect them from the sun. We remind them to drink water or electrolyte enriched beverages every so often-at least 7 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes or a full bucket to the face to stay hydrated. We also teach all of our workers how to spot symptoms like feeling dizzy, sweating a lot, or being confused. The most physically demanding jobs should be scheduled for cooler times of the day, like early morning or late afternoon, for the best safety and comfort. This will help lower the risk of being exposed to too much heat. Our workers safety and health are extremely important and we always promote the best in hydration and staying cool while on the job. If you need asphalt or concrete work from a professionally hydrated and happy working team give Go Pave Utah a call.
