Head gear protects workers from extreme heat
Excessive heat exposure, indoors or outdoors, presents a dangerous on-the-job hazard for many chemical process industries (CPI) workers. The Chill-Its Cooling Products includes a large assortment of bandanas, hats, headbands, dew rags and towels, made from a high-performance, moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric that promotes evaporative cooling and reduces the risk of heat stress. These head-covering items are comfortable to wear under hats, helmets or alone. Some have tie closures, others have a hook-and-loop closure. Colors include black (to hide dirt), high-visibility orange and a variety of patterns, including camouflage. — Ergodyne, St. Paul, Minn.
