With the weather conditions further warming up due to the El Nino phenomenon, the labor department reminds employers to observe health and safety measures to prevent and control heat stress to minimize its impact at the workplace.
The Department of Labor and Employment reiterates Labor Advisory No. 8, series of 2023, recommending measures to avoid heat stress, which includes reducing extreme heat exposure of employees through adequate ventilation and heat insulation in workplaces; adjusting their rest breaks or work locations; allowing them to use temperature-appropriate uniforms and personal protective equipment; and providing them with free and adequate drinking water.
The health and safety measure advisory also urges employers, with the concurrence of the workers, to adopt flexible work arrangements that allow work hours adjustments while maintaining the total number of work hours within the day or week until the weather condition has improved.
