Description

Sunny summer days can be enjoyable but can also be a dangerous work environment, especially if the temperature rises above 80 degrees.  Gardeners, nursery workers, landscapers, mechanics, and other workers can spend a great deal of time in the sun during summer months.  For many, simple protections like hats, sunblock, and lots of water can be adequate protection.  However, workers who have disabilities like MS, stroke, skin disorders, and cardiac disorders can all struggle dealing with heat and sun.  Many of these disabilities impact a body’s heat regulation, leading to fatigue and increased risk of heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

The use of a simple Canopy Umbrella Sunshade can help alleviate these struggles by protecting the worker from the sun’s debilitating rays.  It may seem like a pain, but Canopy Umbrella Sunshade take minutes to put into place and can be quickly and easily moved or angled to maximize sun protection.  A great example of this would be a landscaper who is tending to a flower bed by weeding or placing mulch.  A Canopy Umbrella can provide sun protection but be easily adjusted as the worker moves from one location to another.  The slight extra time and inconvenience required will more than make up with the benefits of sun protection.  Depending on the grade of the roof, placement of a Canopy Umbrella on the rooftop with weights could offer a shaded rest area as the roofer is working.  A farmer working on a tractor is another place a Canopy Umbrella could be used.
