Modular Cool Down Rooms Put the Summer Heat on Ice

Economical Protection Against Heat-Related Injuries – Modular Cool Down Rooms

The old saying goes, “If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen,” but what if you work in a kitchen? Workers exposed to high temperatures, high humidity, radiant heat sources, and hot objects are exposed to extreme heat. It’s incumbent upon you to ensure that your workplace is safe and provide protection against the effects of extreme temperatures. One of the easiest and most economical ways to deal with the extreme is to chill… in a modular cool down room.

Modular Cool Down Room Features & Options

• 

  Insulated wall panels 

• Choose indoor, exterior, or mobile units
• Cool down rooms or booth configurations
• HVAC climate controlled or wall mounted AC
• Exhaust fans circulate airflow
• Fully assembled or assemble on site
• Dozens of standard sizes ( 8’ x 8’ to 20’ x 40’)
• 8’ or 9’ tall walls
• Three standard color options

These climate-controlled rooms contain cool air in a smaller, confined space to quickly lower body temperatures and prevent heat-related illnesses. Modular cool down rooms are more cost-effective than trying to chill a larger facility. You can customize your modular building by choosing from a large selection of standard walls, windows, doors, roofing, and several color options. Your modular cool down room arrives fully assembled or broken down for fast assembly; it’s your preference.

Preventing Heat-Related Worker Injuries 

When it comes to OSHA, heat-related work falls under the General Duty Clause (Section 5[a][1] of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970). This regulation requires employers to ensure their workplace is “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees.”

Heat-Related Injuries: 

• Heat stress
• Heatstroke
• Hyperthermia
• Fainting
• Exhaustion
• Cramps
• Rashes

Heat-related stress can come on quickly. It is classified as a rise in body temp above 100.4 degrees F or 38 degrees celsius. It is imperative to act quickly to lower the body’s temperature if a worker is exhibiting signs of heat stress –cool down rooms are the perfect solution. Moreover, cool down rooms and effective safety protocols will help you prevent the danger in the first place.

Wellness Protocols for Heat-Related Activity

• Provide workers with water or sports drinks
• Encourage your team to drink fluids throughout the day/shift
• Shorten shifts hours 
• Schedule frequent breaks
• Monitor for heat stress symptoms and act quickly!
