With summer approaching, extreme heat is a growing concern in the wake of extreme weather. For security leaders whose organizations have employees who spend significant amounts of time outdoors, ensuring their safety is a top priority.
To mitigate some of the risks of extreme heat, the state of Arizona has released safety recommendations to help keep people cool. Check on those who are at higher risk for heat-related illness, do not have air conditioning and/or spend much of their time alone. Security officers or other personnel who frequently work alone should have a way to communicate with others in the event of an emergency.
