ONLY AVALABILE from Penticton Location
Prepare your workforce for extreme weather conditions with the Safety Cool Down Trailer, an essential solution for managing heat stress on construction sites. This robust trailer is designed to provide a safe, controlled environment for workers to cool down during hot summer months or warm up in the cold of winter. Featuring a durable, all-metal construction that resists corrosion and wear, this trailer is equipped with high-capacity air cooling and optional heating to maintain comfortable temperatures year-round. It’s an ideal addition to any site where temperature extremes pose a risk to worker health and safety.
Mobile Cool Down Trailers provide cooling and rest shelter solutions for outdoor work sites and public events where risk of heat stress and heat exhaustion exists.
Mobile Cool Down Trailers are an effective means in protecting workers in remote or isolated worksites and for volunteers and employees working outdoor events.
Outdoor work sites during hot weather (e.g., road construction and asphalt paving, roofing, movie industry, tree planting)
For outdoor work areas in B.C., heat stress is normally only of concern during periods of hot weather and during activities such as firefighting unless factors such as high humidity, heavy work load, emergency relief, or excessive radiant heat combine to increase the level of risk for a particular work activity.
WorkSafeBC Regulatory excerpt
Section 7.27(1) of the OHS Regulation (“Regulation”) states:
(1) Subject to subsection (2), sections 7.28 to 7.32 apply to a workplace if
(a) a worker is or may be exposed to thermal conditions which could cause heat stress,
(b) the thermal conditions could result in a worker’s core body temperature exceeding 38°C (100°F), or
(c) the thermal conditions are in excess of the levels listed in the screening criteria for heat stress exposure in the heat stress and strain section of the ACGIH Standard for unacclimatized workers.
Purpose of guideline
The purpose of this guideline is to provide some examples of when section 7.27(1) of the Regulation may be applicable.
Examples
The following are a few examples of workplaces where the sections on heat exposure may apply:
Pulp mills (around the recovery boilers, paper machines, and lime kilns)
Sawmills (around the kilns or burners)
Smelters, Cement kilns, Movie Industry, Remote Construction Sites, Emergency Relief, Outdoor Events
