In this podcast we cover:
- How to keep workers cool.
- The measure of success.
- Why it is so important.
In this episode, Jason takes on one of the most overlooked but critical aspects of jobsite safety: keeping workers cool in extreme heat. Drawing from personal experiences at Lake Pleasant and lessons from past projects, he shares practical strategies for protecting crews, including misting stations, cooling fans, hydration points, electrolyte drinks, and adjusted work schedules. Jason also emphasizes the importance of jobsite culture, explaining why toughness is no defense against heat and how leaders must normalize cooling off as a smart and professional choice. With tips ranging from cooling gear to shaded bathrooms, this episode will help you rethink whether your jobsite setup is truly something to be proud of.
