Also keep a cool head (and cool feet) in summer!

Summer is still taking its time, but in a few weeks we can expect high temperatures and plenty of sunshine again. What sounds like a perfect summer day with cool drinks, delicious ice cream, and a day in the water during vacation and leisure time can sometimes be a high strain on the body during work, especially in outdoor activities, on construction sites, etc. Circulatory problems and weakness are not unknown to many employees, which is why it is extremely important to pay attention to the signals of the body during this time. Increased fluid intake in the form of water to compensate for the increased fluid loss through sweating, as well as regular breaks in shady surroundings, significantly support the body during this time.
To protect the skin from harmful UV radiation, headgear and sunscreen with a high sun protection factor are helpful.

Safety sandals – protected feet, high comfort

Since wearing safety shoes is mandatory in many professions, it is advantageous in summer and at high temperatures to pay attention to light materials, bright colors, and an overall airy texture of the shoes. A safety sandal can be a real relief where possible. Since safety sandals are only available in the safety classes S1 and S1P it should be checked on a case-by-case basis whether they are permissible for the respective area of use.

The JETSTREAM sandal from ALBATROS® with its high-quality microfiber upper is particularly breathable thanks to the high-quality material combination and special openings on the sides. The FORGE AIR safety sandal, which was specifically developed for use on industrial floors, also provides optimal comfort on warm days with its ergonomic features, breathable design, and breathable materials.

Light work clothing for warm summer months

What applies to safety shoes is equally valid for work clothing. Bright colors, light materials, and breathable properties should dominate the choice of appropriate workwear during the summer months. Special functional fibers can transport moisture better, thus providing comfort even on hot days. Short work pants, such as bermudas or shorts, can also be a pleasantly airy alternative to long pants in summer. However, it is always necessary to clarify in advance whether wearing shorts is permissible for the respective area of use. In activities with an increased risk of injury, such as sparks, this is often not the case.
