Summertime Safety: PPE and OHS Working in the Heat
As the summer months approach, ensuring the safety and well-being of workers becomes paramount, especially for those engaged in outdoor activities or environments where heat-related risks are prevalent. At TJ Nowak Supply, we understand the importance of equipping workers with the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and adhering to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) guidelines, particularly in challenging conditions like extreme heat.
Understanding the Risks
Working in hot environments poses significant risks to workers’ health and safety. Heat stress, heat exhaustion, and even heatstroke are serious concerns that can lead to severe consequences if not properly addressed. As temperatures soar, it’s crucial for employers and employees alike to be vigilant and proactive in mitigating these risks.
Comprehensive PPE Solutions
At TJ Nowak Supply, we take pride in offering a comprehensive range of PPE specifically designed to combat the challenges of working in hot conditions. From moisture-wicking clothing to breathable headgear and cooling vests, our selection is curated to provide maximum comfort and protection without compromising on performance.
Moisture-Wicking Clothing
Our moisture-wicking clothing is engineered to keep workers dry and comfortable by drawing moisture away from the skin, promoting evaporation, and maintaining optimal body temperature. This not only enhances comfort but also reduces the risk of heat-related illnesses.
Breathable Headgear
Proper headgear is essential for protecting workers from the sun’s rays while allowing sufficient airflow to prevent overheating. Our selection of breathable hats and headwear provides both sun protection and ventilation, ensuring comfort and safety even in the hottest conditions.
Cooling Vests
For workers exposed to extreme heat for prolonged periods, cooling vests offer an additional layer of defense. These innovative garments utilize advanced cooling technologies to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating, allowing workers to stay focused and productive without compromising their well-being.

In addition to providing high-quality PPE, TJ Nowak Supply is committed to promoting OHS compliance and best practices to ensure the safety of all workers.
