Earlier this month, the Roofing Alliance, the philanthropic arm of the National Roofing Contractors Association, unveiled a new training course and report on heat stress in roofing; the “Heat Stress for Roofers Training Course and Final Report” are available for purchase in the NRCA’s Bookstore.
In a news release, the Roofing Alliance said its report and training modules provide “important industry heat stress data and its effects on roofers.” Information includes how to prevent heat-related illnesses, contributing risk factors, policies and regulations surrounding heat stress, and a guide for providing a workplace heat-related illness plan.
