We are in the midsts of a heatwave this week; when working on roofs in hot weather make sure you follow these steps to stay safe:
Reschedule work to cooler times of the day;
Provide more frequent rest breaks and introduce shading to rest areas;

Provide free access to cool drinking water;
If possible, introduce shading where individuals are working; Encourage the removal of PPE when taking breaks to aid heat loss; and
Educate workers about recognising the early symptoms of heat stress.

Pleased to have worked with Professor Patrick James and his team at Southampton and @garywalpole on this important research. It shows that overheating is going to be a real issue for certain building types such as flats and loft/dormer conversions /1
Today the NFRC Charitable Trust has published research by the @unisouthampton which found that the way the UK builds, maintains, and upgrades its roofs will be critical to how we adapt to a wetter & warmer #climate.
You can a summary of the report here: bit.ly/3IUJYSJ
