Staying Safe in a Sweltering Summer

As we head into the heart of a strange summer, this is usually the time of year where we experience the highest temperatures.

With sweltering days expected to continue into the next week, it’s important to be aware of some of the most common injuries and health risks we commonly see during these dog days of summer.

Here are some of the most usual injuries to be aware of during the summer, as well as tips for prevention.

Heat Exhaustion/Heat Stoke

Heat exhaustion and heat stroke is one of the most common summer workplace injuries, particularly for those who work outdoors, like those in the agriculture or construction industries.

  • Workers can reduce their risks of suffering from heat exhaustion or heat stroke by doing the following:
  • Performing work activities in the early morning or evening if possible
  • Wearing long-sleeved light clothing to protect against the sun
  • Staying hydrated
  • Taking breaks when necessary

Auto Accidents

In the summer, dozens of people head to the city or the beach for shopping, relaxation, or vacation. As such, the roads can be more congested than they are during other times of the year, leading to the prevalence of accidents.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, overall there were more vehicle accident-related deaths in May, June, July, August, and September than there are in the other spring and fall months.

You can reduce your chances of injury by following these simple tips:

  • Put down the distracting devices like cell phones
  • Follow traffic laws
  • Wear a safety belt

Slips, Trips, and Falls

A slip, trip, and fall can happen any time of the year, regardless of weather. A slip and fall accident can lead to devastating injuries and are the leading cause of death in the construction industry according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

For business purposes, employers can help to eliminate the occurrence of slip and fall accidents in their workplaces by taking the following actions.

  • Provide workers with safe equipment
  • Plan ahead for work projects that involve heights
  • Ensure that all employees are trained

Please be safe!  In the event that you or a loved one is injured, we can certainly help.  Just contact our office at 215-642-2335 or learn more from our website, www.cordiscosaile.com.

Enjoy your summer!
