Today I welcome our STAR guest, John Roberts, back to share some sun safety tips with us! John is the corporate safety manager at NATT Safety services, and I love speaking with John because he always shares such great, simple tips to keep us safe, and that’s so important.
It’s starting to get nicer outside even though where I live it’s been raining a lot, but we all know summer is coming. And with summer comes the heat and humidity and we want to keep you safe.
I’ve linked Episode 45 in the show notes because John was on and shared a really important talk about when workers are working in the heat (indoors or outdoors), and how to identify heat stress as well as the different stages of heat stress. Im going to link that episode because it ties in with our episode today and thinkit’ss a really useful episode to share!
