Our final safety share this month is on heat stress! We may be approaching fall, but temperatures can remain high into September. Continue to keep an eye on potential heat stress symptoms in yourself and in the people around you.

This week, our Safety Share is about reporting. Prevent hazards from escalating or causing harm by reporting it immediately, and taking appropriate steps to eliminate a hazard where possible.

While BC fires burn, CROSH recognizes the efforts of wildland firefighters and other emergency personnel on the ground in your province. Our current research is making wildland firefighting a safer job for all fire rangers by mitigating the hazards of heat stress and airborne contaminants.

We also want to provide community-based resources to people living in areas where fires are burning. To be part of our research that puts existing tools into your hands and mobile device, check out our latest knowledge transfer exchange research at purpleair.crosh.ca which is now live for all users in Ontario, BC and the Maritimes.
