New York, New York (PRWEB) June 28, 2012
Summer means construction workers must take extra safety precautions. Already temperatures are hovering around 100 degrees in New York. Construction accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm understand that under these broiling conditions, construction workers are at a greater risk of developing a serious heat-related illness.
"Humidity combined with heat can make the weather even more dangerous for outdoor workers. It is essential for construction workers and employers to take proper precautions especially if workers are working for extended lengths of time," New York construction accident lawyer David Perecman said. "Prevention of heat related injuries to New York construction workers is critical."
The combination of hot weather, humidity, physical exertion and dehydration can cause potentially fatal heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
New York construction accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm understand that recognizing the signs of heat exhaustion can mean the difference between life and death. Symptoms include weakness, headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, confusion and giddiness. If a worker experiences heat exhaustion, he/she will likely faint or collapse.
The most serious heat-induced illness is heat stroke. Heat stroke is life-threatening and requires immediate emergency attention.
