The heat is coming! Do you know how to protect yourself and/or your workers, neighbors, students, and loved ones from heat illness? This Heat Stress Toolbox Talk gives tips for how to avoid this increasingly common heat impact to those who work, live or play outdoors. It's especially important to know if you or a loved one is in a high risk category. Being elderly, a child, pregnant, having asthma, diabetes, heart or respiratory conditions, taking certain medications, being obese/overweight and anyone with limited ability to get themselves out of the heat are some common populations that are at increased risk.

Safety Tip! We share valuable tips to help you prioritize safety in the workplace. Stay tuned for expert insights and practical advice from TLM Corporation. It's crucial to know how to detect if you're in an area with a potential gas leak. Here are common signs to look out for: Smelling Sulphur or Rotten Eggs: Gas leaks often emit a distinctive odour similar to rotten eggs. If you notice this smell, evacuate the area immediately and contact emergency services. Hissing Sounds: Be vigilant for hissing sounds near your gas line, as they could indicate a leak. If you hear such noises, avoid using electrical devices and evacuate the premises. Air Bubbles in Standing Water: Keep an eye out for air bubbles in standing water or puddles, which can signal natural gas seeping through underground soil. Contact a professional if you notice this phenomenon. Wilted or Dead Plants: Pay attention to the health of plants near your gas line. Wilted or dead flowers, trees, or plants could indicate gas leakage, and immediate action should be taken. Physical Symptoms: Symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or irregular breathing can indicate natural gas poisoning. If you or others experience these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention promptly. Unexpected Increase in Gas Usage: An unexpected spike in gas usage in your home could indicate a leak. Monitor your gas consumption and seek professional assistance if you notice any unusual changes. Remember, safety comes first. If you suspect a gas leak, prioritize your well-being and that of others by taking swift action. #safetytips #workplacesafety #TLMCorp #gasdetection #occupationalhealth
