I was watching the news the other day and someone died while working in the heat. It then became a big deal so they had a segment on tv to cover the story. I think the person that died was a farmer. To make the long story short, they interviewed OSHA .
It was said that the EMPLOYER should provide at least 2 gallons per day per employee. And there should be a shade. I think if I heard it right, IT IS THE LAW! I also heard that osha can shut down any business that doesnt follow this?
We all know that the water jug they gave us is not 2 gallons. And we know that we dont have shade anywhere. In fact, when you go in the truck to grab a package, its like a conventional oven.
So what are the things you do out there to survive the summer heat?
I for one wont rely on UPS to provide anything for me so I bring my own gallons of water, I bring 2 towels, one I leave it inside my cooler so throughout the day i can put it in my head to cool me off.
UPS should adjust the issue of heat inside that truck, that fiber glass is not helping either. I believe that if I asked that guy from osha to ride with me during the summer he will have something to say.
whats your remedy to heat
