The article talks about the dangers of a hot summer and available precautionary measures:
Temperatures this summer have reached record highs across the country. As a result, several industries have seen an increase in the number of heat-related injuries their employees experienced.
In hot weather, make sure the building has proper ventilation and that the air conditioning units receive proper maintenance. If your employees work outdoors or in areas where there is no air-conditioning, make sure employees have access to plenty of liquids and allow them frequent breaks.
Precautions should be taken when employees are working in adverse weather conditions, not only for the safety of employees, but also because a little forethought can save a great deal of money.

I have had trouble throughout the years understanding why many employers do not take care of their employees. From basic physical wellbeing and safety in the work environment to paying employees well, giving them quality benefits and some proper rest and relaxation. The more rested, well-paid and respected employees are the more productive they will be affecting the bottom line for employers.
