Doctors and meteorologists are telling us to avoid sun exposure. But those who are forced to work in the sun all day, the business owners are in trouble
In this case, the public health department is giving various instructions to the general public, hospitals and industrial companies.
It has been urged that industrial companies and building owners should take some precautionary measures for the welfare of the workers.
In this regard, Tamil Nadu Public Health Department Director Selvavinayagam said, “In many districts in Tamil Nadu, temperatures above 102 degrees Fahrenheit are being recorded. When working directly in that climate, the body will immediately lose water.
If it is ignored, the movement of the body parts will be hindered at some point. When such a condition occurs, it can be fatal if medical treatment is not provided promptly.
Therefore, industrial companies and owners should come forward to change the working hours of all those who may work in direct sunlight such as construction workers, agricultural workers, traders.
You can work from dawn to morning and then from evening to night. ORS solution and drinking water facilities should be provided to the employees so that there is no loss of water,” he said.
