The Risk of Heat Exhaustion in Mining and Industrial Sectors

In the mining and industrial sectors, the risk of heat exhaustion is a significant concern. Workers in these environments are often exposed to extreme temperatures, heavy machinery, and physically demanding tasks, which can lead to dehydration, fatigue, and decreased concentration. Such conditions not only affect the health and safety of the employees but also impact productivity and recovery times.
