Description
Unless you live in a far northern climate, dealing with summer heat can be a challenge for workers who have outside jobs. Construction workers, landscapers, farmers, groundskeepers and others must deal with higher temperatures during the summer months.
Workers with disabilities relating to stroke, respiratory and endurance, or other problems that affect body heat regulation and tolerance have a even harder time dealing with summer months. Exposure to heat may result in more severe health risks or death because it exacerbates preexisting conditions, including cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases. Heat has an impact on those who are taking medications that may affect the body’s ability to regulate its temperature (for example: antidepressants and mood stabilizers)
Use of a Fan Vest will greatly alleviate symptoms brought on by the heat. The Fan Vest can drop body heat to a more tolerable level but also allow for continued working. A road worker who spends all day outside in the sun can wear the vest and endure high temperatures much more easily. A landscaper who operates lawn equipment all day will work much more comfortably with a Fan Vest.
