[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1174527, member: 14668"] Heat is simply another extreme weather condition that will negatively impact our productivity. When its hot, you have to [B]slow down your work pace [/B]and make a conscious effort to stay hydrated. Its no different from slowing down your driving speed when there is 6" of snow on the ground. You do what you have to do in order to stay safe and if that means frequent breaks, a slower pace and a couple of stops per hour less in terms of production for the day then so be it. We are human beings doing manual labor and operating motor vehicles in the outdoors, and there are limits to what we are safely capable of doing with both our bodies and our vehicles under extreme weather conditions. [B]Dont try to exceed those limits[/B]. The company cannot reasonably expect me to maintain my average SPORH when there is snow on the ground and I have to put tire chains on; nor can they reasonably expect me to maintain my average SPORH when its 100+ degrees outside with high humidity and I am at risk of heat stroke. We are only human. [/QUOTE]
