Southern Ontario's summer is off to a scorching start. With
temperatures expected to top 36 degrees today and the humidex
approaching mid-40s, Toronto's Chief Medical Officer has
extended its Extreme Heat Alert.
In conditions like these, the Ontario Ministry of Labour advises
that employers must ensure that they are taking proper precautions
to protect their workers from suffering heat-induced illnesses. To
help employers, Ontario's Ministry of Labour has published a
Heat Stress Guideline which includes a number of tips on how to
stay safe and cool during these hot summer months. In addition,
Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board has also made
available on its website a number of resources about the dangers of
heat exposure and how to prevent it.
