  • Let’s Beat The Heat!

    Hi all,

    From Sunday we are expecting several days of extremely hot weather, therefore we need everyone to be prepared.

    All staff are reminded to:

    • Dress appropriately – Avoid heavy or tight fitting clothing.
    • Do not stand in the sun unnecessarily – Utilise shade from buildings, awnings or umbrellas wherever possible and especially between 11am and 5pm.
    • Sunscreen – Use at least factor 30with a 4-star UVA rating if you are working outside and reapply during the day.
    • Drink plenty of water – Keep yourself hydrated: water bottles can be refilled from any cold tap in kitchens/staff areas.
    • Open windows and doors (but not fire doors) – Help create a breeze where possible.
    • Office Staff – Close blinds to reduce heat increase from sunlight. In air conditioned buildings close the windows. Set the air con to 21°C and let the system do its job.

    Team Managers will bring round chilled water bottles and sunscreen to their team as needed.

    Extra breaks will be provided as appropriate for each team to allow staff a break from the heat.

    If you have any questions, please get in touch with your Line Manager.

    Thank you and be safe!
