The heat and work

[Smokin Joe]

I've worked in some indoor and outdoor hot jobs in the past (glass blowing & working on a kibbutz, both regularly over 40c) and it's not so tough if you're used to it. More of an issue when it's only a couple of days here & there.

When I was young I worked at a plastic blow moulding factory. The hot weather was a nightmare with molten plastic running through forty machines.

What provisions have your work set in place for the forecast heat next week ?
Working in an industrial weld shop where the temp will build up even higher as there is no air con, windows, breeze etc wearing PPE you might get a fan an a bottle of water but people have been known to pass out so im dreading it .

Work are sending me to work at a fully-cooked coated chicken products factory in Italy on Mon, Tue Wed....I'll be roasting!

Not looking forward to it as I work in chemical resistant overalls which are warm most of the year. This week I’ve just had underwear on underneath and still been running with sweat.

Some of the jobs require nitrile gloves, you can see the sweat forming!

Never mind 'killer heat' they want to give warning of this constant 'killer wind'! It was back with a vengeance today, nearly blowing me across the fecking busy road!!🧐

yeah we have them sometimes too but mainly we wear a cut resistant glove with a rubbery stuff impregnated in it

Don't fall in the breadcrumb hopper/feed, whatever you do.

Let's declare a national emergency because it's going to be a little bit warm for a day or two in London!
Try working in the engine room of a ship, in the Persian Gulf, in summer....

Anyway, what has my work done in preparation? Absolutely nothing. It's Scotland. Might have to turn the heating down a notch.

The lab is air conditioned but the office isn't, and it's south facing so even on a normal summer day by mid afternoon it's ridiculous. I'll have to find some practical work to do. The concern is that the air con might not quite be up to the job, and if it fails we're going to have to start switching analysers off.

I work from home most of the time, as I have done since the first lockdown. But I've started going in to the office just to avail myself of the aircon.
