Working in mines can often bring about heat-related dangers that can affect you in a variety of ways, especially during summer months.

Did you know that it’s often a coworker who is the first to notice signs of heat stress in another employee? For that reason alone, it’s important to always work in tandem, using a buddy system.

Everyone needs to know what to watch for in hot mining environments, whether underground or on the surface.

This month, CORESafety is sharing an important two-page “Heat Stress Overview” that can help you better understand how to stay safe in these situations —

ALWAYS STAY SAFE! 

Share this safety information from CORESafety with your fellow miners. Remind them to always follow these best practices and to stay hydrated!
