As the high temperatures season begins, we at Solar Steel want to take a moment—like every year—to remind all site workers of the importance of following the health and safety guidelines in place at each solar site. Ensuring photovoltaic health and safety is crucial for the well-being of everyone involved in our solar structures projects.
Key Health and Safety Guidelines
1️⃣ Stick to approved schedules: Adhere to the approved health and safety meetings and work schedules. It’s essential to respect start and stop times to avoid exposure during peak solar radiation hours.
2️⃣ Stay hydrated: Increase your usual fluid intake to compensate for the loss of fluids under direct sun exposure. Staying well-hydrated is vital for maintaining your health and safety on the solar plant.
3️⃣ Wear protective equipment: Always wear official protective equipment and cover the most exposed areas of your body with lightweight, breathable fabrics. This helps protect against the intense sun and ensures your safety while working with solar structures.
Additionally, remember that each solar site has specific safety protocols that must be followed year-round—especially during extreme weather conditions. Cutting corners is not an option when it comes to photovoltaic health and safety.
Health and safety are everyone’s right. Keep them at the top of your priorities—always.
