Wildfire Season Impacts – Be Prepared
Wildfire season has already arrived in many parts of the province. When possible, reduce the amount of time spent outdoors exposed to wildfire smoke. Wearing a fit-tested, certified N95 half mask respirator significantly reduces the health risks related to wildfire smoke. Physical work, especially outdoors, can increase your air intake by as much as 30%. This poses a serious risk in areas with wildfire smoke.

Preventing Heat Stress
Signs of heat-related illnesses can range from discomfort and pain, like heat rash and heat cramps, to life-threatening conditions such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Whenever possible, a good practice is to partner with other nearby workers to monitor each other or check in with one another for signs of heat stress.
