When your workers understand how their body reacts to the heat as well as common signs and symptoms of heat illness, they’ll be more aware of what to do to take care of themselves while they’re working in hot environments. This can look like hydrating before, during, and after work with cool water and electrolyte-replacing beverages, learning how to recognize and treat a coworker exhibiting symptoms of heat stroke, and especially, wearing effective body cooling PPE that can help lower their internal body temperature.
Conductive and phase change cooling vests provide passive cooling to your torso by using a coolant product (such as a large ice pack or cooling pack) which can be added and replaced as needed. From construction sites to landscaping projects near buildings, these portable vests are designed to be effective in most hot or humid environments.
Cooling jackets and vests help lower core body temperature and provide continuous refreshment on the job, especially in locations with high humidity or a lack of airflow. You can also have a cooling vest and ice packs ready to go in a cooler in a body cooling station to get on your break or as needed.
In the past, body cooling PPE often had a number of issues: It wouldn’t stay cool for long, it would only be as cold as the water it would be soaked in, and garments could be coated with chemicals that made them feel slimy to wear. But today, new cooling products and innovations have addressed these inconveniences to give you comfortable and long-lasting cooling PPE that can keep you safer while working in the heat.
If you’re looking for cooling gear that activates fast and stays cool for hours, Magid® Cool Powered by Mission® cooling products give you a chemical-free cooling option for hot environments. These cooling products include towels, gaiters, and shirts designed to activate fast, stay cool for hours, and reactivate again and again throughout the workday. The absorbent outer layers enhance the natural evaporation process, while the unique, micro-groove inner layer retains more water. Magid Cool also has FR gaiters, towels, and skull caps for working in environments with flame hazards. These garments are NFPA 70E compliant, meet ASTM F1506 standards, and their flame resistant properties never wash out.
No matter your cooling product preference, Magid has the gear you need to help you and your team work safer and more comfortably in hot conditions!
