Hot Weather Safety: Protect Yourself and Your Team

Working outdoors in hot weather can quickly result in thermal discomfort, dehydration, fatigue, heat stress, sunburn and reduced concentration. These effects can increase the likelihood of accidents and impact overall wellbeing.

As part of our commitment to supporting members with health and safety best practice, CAI riskhub provides access to a wide range of resources including a Hot Weather Toolbox Talk that can be used with your teams during warmer conditions.

By raising awareness and encouraging sensible precautions, businesses can help reduce risks and keep teams safe on site.
