Managing Heat Stress in workplaces
Heat stress is a medical emergency.
SOS Marine recognises how important it is to stay hydrated, particularly when working outdoors. Often it is not convenient to access a water source.
This Tactical Vest is provided with an optional 3 litre personal hands-free hydration system which is place in the rear of the vest rear.
In an emergency situation, there is a quick and easy ability to immediately replenish your team’s water supply by refilling the water bladder.
This simple innovation assists the carbon footprint associated with bottling and transporting plastic water bottles.
