OSHA continues to develop its Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings (HIIP) and sets out recommendations to prevent occupational heat exposure:

​

• Workers should be encouraged to drink at least one cup (8 ounces) of water every 20 minutes while working in the heat not just if they are thirsty.

• Water should be cool and provided in a location that is familiar to the workers, near the work, easy to access, and in sufficient quantity for the duration of the work.

• Electrolytes should be provided for jobs lasting longer than two hours.

• Ice, applied to the head, neck, armpits, and groin, is an emergency tool to cool a worker.  Submersion in an ice bath can save a life.

 

Our Workforce Hydration service is an integral component to your OSHA HIPP Plan.

Ice
A good rule of thumb is that a worker needs one, seven pound bag of ice per workday for an ice chest.

​

Electrolytes
Powder sticks for bottled water, bottles of electrolyte drinks, and even popsicles!

​

Bottled Water 16.9 ounces
To meet the one cup (8 ounces) of water every 20 minutes in the OSHA guidance, a worker needs twelve bottles per day. 

​

Ice Chest
An ice chest needs to hold twelve bottles of water, eight pounds of ice…and popsicles!
