Last year we had a spike in injuries during the summer months.  We don't want a repeat.  Does anyone have a summer safety awareness program or promotion that they would be willing to share?

Our Summer Safety Programs focus on Heat Stress awareness training.  We train all of our field staff on how to recognize various heat related ilnesses like heat rash, heat stress, and heat stroke.  We also discuss means of preventing these ilnesses.  Each session we get someone to relate a real experience where someone in their crew suffered from a heat related illness, discuss what happened and how it could have been prevented.
