How To Minimize Summer Heat Risks On A Drilling Job?

A lot of experts talk about drilling tools and accessories, but not enough talk about making the job easier for the drilling professionals. Working under the summer sun, they often experience the consequences of prolonged heat exposure such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, cramps, and rashes.

Here are some tactics that might come in handy in getting the work done safely without compromising on your own health and well-being.

●       Drink as much water as you can to keep yourself hydrated. You should also avoid caffeinated drinks as they do not hydrate as well as water does.

●       Even though there are some areas across the globe where shade and water breaks are mandatory for people working outside in high temperatures. Take frequent breaks in the shade or find some nearby spots with air conditioners to rejuvenate yourself.

●       Take rest as and when you feel the need.

●       Keep an eye on the heat index to make sure you are protecting yourself and your crew from the ruthlessness of the heat. Consider keeping a heat index threshold.

●   If you can go a step ahead, you can also have someone take charge of making sure that everyone in the crew is keeping well. They can do so by reminding the folks to hydrate themselves, fetching water bottles for them, monitoring the temperatures, and just observing the members for signs of heat stress.

Of course, it is important that the drilling professionals are using the right drilling tools and accessories, but their well-being is as crucial.
