Beat The Heat
Our Summer Campaign is here, and we’re prepared to help you Beat The Heat this summer.
Your Health & Safety in the Heat Matters
As temperatures rise across the UK and Europe, so does the risk of heat stress. Especially in high-temperature environments like data halls and switch rooms. Working in heat-sensitive, enclosed areas means we all need to take extra care to protect ourselves and support each other.
This summer, we're rolling out our BEAT THE HEAT Campaign - designed to help you work smart, stay safe, and protect our teams - every site, every shift, every project, every time.
WHY IT MATTERS:
Environments like switch rooms are already intense. Add ARC-rated PPE and high summer temperatures, and the risk of heat exhaustion or dehydration climbs fast.
Overheating can affect your focus, reaction time and decision-making. It can creep up quietly and lead to serious issues if ignored. So this summer, we’re pushing for more than just awareness - we want action.
Working Smart in ARC Flash Protection
Arc Flash Protection is essential - but it’s not all-day wear. Use it only when and where it’s required.
DO:
Wear ARC-rated PPE in areas where needed (e.g. Live switch rooms).
Change out as soon as you're out of the danger zone.
Plan ahead to avoid full-day exposure - rotate tasks and people.
Check in with yourself and your teammates regularly.
Hydration Is NOT Optional
Sweating is your body’s cooling system - and summer heat + PPE = double the fluid loss.
