This month, around here, we have air temps in the 95F+ range and some techs are experiencing heat stress related problems. I am wondering if besides a reminder to "keep hydrated" if anyone else has any thoughts on how to manage this concern.
When we send on of our employees to visit a customer's location, we don't expect them to provide an A/C shop, but we also can not allow the tech to fall out over the heat.
Does anyone have any "best practices" on how to deal with this?
I would also very much like to hear if anyone has any ideas on dealing with a customer that does not inform the tech what sort of chemical substances are on the machine before they work on the machine.
