Working Safely Through a Heatwave: Heat Stress Signs & Prevention

Image
Every summer, the forecast turns into a warning. And every summer, the same hard truth gets ignored until someone collapses on a job site: heat is not an inconvenience — it’s the deadliest weather there is. I say that as someone who spent years as a paramedic before I ever wrote a safety plan. I’ve knelt next to workers whose bodies had simply stopped being able to cool themselves. What I learned then, and what I teach now, is that heat illness is almost entirely preventable, but only if we stop treating a heatwave like a bad-weather day and start treating it like the hazard it actually is. Here’s what the numbers say, what to watch for, and what to actually do about it. Heat is the number-one weather killer This surprises people, because hurricanes and tornadoes get the headlines. But the data is consistent and it isn’t close. Over the most recent 30-year period (1994–2023), heat killed an average of 183 people a year in the United States, more than floods (88), tornadoes (...

Why the Heat Index Is Not Enough

Image
If you manage safety on a job site, you probably check the weather app before a hot shift and look at the “feels like” number, the heat index. It’s a useful habit. But if that number is the only tool you use to decide whether your crew is safe to work, you’re missing a big part of the picture and in some cases, the dangerous part. Here’s what most people don’t know: the heat index was never designed for the workplace. Let me explain what it actually measures, why it falls short on a real job site, and what the professionals use instead. What the Heat Index actually measures and what it leaves out The heat index combines just two things: air temperature and relative humidity. It answers the question “how hot does it feel to a person?” and it does that reasonably well for everyday life. But here’s the catch that matters for workers: the heat index is calculated for shade. It assumes you’re standing in the shade, in a light breeze, doing nothing strenuous. That’s not most job sit...

What the Clairton Coke Works Explosion Teaches About Process Safety

Image
Some of the most damaging safety failures aren't the result of a single bad decision. They build up quietly over years, through a shortcut that works fine right up until it doesn't. That's the story the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) laid out on August 10 in its final report on the fatal explosion at U.S. Steel's Clairton Coke Works in Clairton, Pennsylvania, the largest coke manufacturing facility in the Western Hemisphere. The report, combined with OSHA citations issued earlier this year, offers one of the clearest recent illustrations of why informal workarounds and inadequate process safety management are such a dangerous combination in facilities that handle flammable or toxic materials. What happened On August 11, 2025, U.S. Steel employees and contractors from MPW Industrial Services were "exercising" a cast iron isolation valve on the piping that fed coke oven gas to one of the plant's coke oven batteries, a routine m...
