Employer and supervisor responsibility
As we face high temperatures and the impact of wildfire smoke, employers and supervisors must take steps to protect workers. Heat stress and poor air quality can have serious health effects, especially for those working outdoors or in hot indoor environments. Adjust work schedules, provide regular breaks in cool or clean air spaces, and ensure your team has access to water and protective equipment.
