Just wondering about other centers....any other centers having an increase of injuries with the Spc levels the past few weeks? I've never used Shrimis this often.

There's no such thing. You are a professional and a finely tuned industrial athlete. Heat, cold, rain, sleet, whatever mother nature throws at you: Bring it! Ridiculous concept in that every other category of athlete uses an off season period to recover, refresh, and train. Anyway, as previously stated; no such thing as heat related injuries.

Yes, injuries up. Loaders being trained terribly combined with bad implementation of ORION. Digging dozens of stops out of the rear sections in hellacious heat isn't a very safe way to start a very long day.

  • Wear light colored clothing
  • Avoid strenuous activity
  • Take frequent breaks
  • Stay inside during the hottest part of the day

You didn't listen to the corporate training.
