We\u2019re Havin\u2019 a Heatwave<\/h2>\nAdministracja ds. Bezpiecze\u0144stwa i Higieny Pracy (OSHA) jest ju\u017c na etapie planowania nast\u0119pnej fali upa\u0142\u00f3w, zwykle wyst\u0119puj\u0105cej w koniec lipca lub pocz\u0105tek sierpnia<\/a>. Nowa polityka ochrony przed upa\u0142em, og\u0142oszona w pa\u017adzierniku 2021 r., zwr\u00f3ci uwag\u0119 na takie obszary, jak progi stresu cieplnego, planowanie aklimatyzacji cieplnej i monitorowanie nara\u017cenia. Agencja zauwa\u017cy\u0142a, \u017ce nadmierne ciep\u0142o jest g\u0142\u00f3wn\u0105 zwi\u0105zan\u0105 z pogod\u0105 przyczyn\u0105 obra\u017ce\u0144 i zgon\u00f3w w miejscu pracy.\n\n\"construction\n\nDla kontrastu A Adwokat ds. obra\u017ce\u0144 cia\u0142a w Nowym Jorku<\/a> aggressively protects health and safety from excessive heat exposure. This responsibility also includes protecting our friends and neighbors during the increasingly frequent heat waves.\n

Ochrona pracownik\u00f3w<\/h3>\nUdar cieplny zwykle ma miejsce, gdy temperatura cia\u0142a przekracza 103. W tym momencie mechanizm pocenia si\u0119 wy\u0142\u0105cza, a temperatura cia\u0142a wzrasta jeszcze szybciej. O ile osoby te nie otrzymaj\u0105 natychmiastowej pomocy medycznej, udar cieplny jest zwykle niepe\u0142nosprawny lub \u015bmiertelny.\n\nWyczerpanie cieplne<\/a> is chronic exposure to high temperatures and, just as importantly, high humidity. When the air is humid, sweat doesn\u2019t evaporate as quickly, so the body doesn\u2019t cool itself as well.\n\nAs a rule of thumb, if the heat index (temperature combined with humidity) is over 90 during a heat wave, heat exhaustion could be an issue. During a serious heat wave, the heat index could be above 90 by the time workers head to their jobs.\n\nProtecting workers from heat-related illness is a bit like protecting workers from hearing loss. Usually, sudden, extremely loud noises don\u2019t cause hearing loss. Instead, prolonged exposure to quieter noise is generally the problem. Likewise, extreme heat often isn\u2019t a problem, even in outdoor work environments or un-air-conditioned indoor facilities. Instead, working in such areas daily could cause heat exhaustion.\n\nWorkers\u2019 compensation typically covers heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and other heat-related illnesses caused by a heat wave. These no-fault benefits replace lost wages and pay medical bills.\n\nMost of the time lost wage replacement is based on the worker\u2019s Average Weekly Wage. There\u2019s usually a difference between a worker\u2019s average take-home pay and a worker\u2019s AWW. For example, the AWW includes non-cash compensation, like employer-provided meals, while workers\u2019 compensation pays \u201creasonably necessary\u201d medical bills.\n\nSince this phrase is vague, injured workers and insurance adjusters have different opinions as to what qualifies. Injured workers need the best available treatment, but insurance adjusters are usually only willing to pay for the cheapest available option.\n\nIf employers break the law and don\u2019t have workers\u2019 compensation insurance, a New York personal injury lawyer can typically file an injury claim in civil court. The same remedy is available in other situations. These victims are entitled to additional compensation for their emotional distress and other noneconomic losses.\n

Ochrona s\u0105siad\u00f3w<\/h3>\nYoung children, older adults, and people with pre-existing conditions are most at risk for heat-related illnesses during a heatwave. Psychotropic drugs, diuretics, tranquilizers, and some medications for Parkinson\u2019s Disease znacznie wzrosn\u0105\u0107<\/a> the chances of heat-related illness.\n\nSpending time in an air-conditioned area is, by far, the best way to prevent such problems. Encourage these individuals to spend the afternoon at a public library or shopping mall. If you buy them a bottle of water while they\u2019re there, that\u2019s even better.\n\nFurthermore, landowners have a legal duty to provide safe and secure environments. Safety and security include maintaining an internal and external temperature that may not be comfortable but at least isn\u2019t hazardous.\n\nChances are, at least two or three at-risk individuals live in your building or neighborhood. We\u2019re all very busy, but it only takes a few seconds to pick up the phone or knock on the door.\n\nFor more information about your rights as a tenant or worker, contact Napoli Shkolnik, <\/a>.\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
