Entering May, a widespread heatwave is sweeping across the Southern region, with temperatures ranging from 35-39 degrees Celsius. The “furnace” of the North Central region also experiences days with average temperatures of 35-37 degrees Celsius. The Northern region is also forecasted to experience an early summer this year, with temperatures averaging 1-2 degrees higher than usual due to the influence of the El Nino phenomenon.
The scorching weather can lead to dehydration and exhaustion due to heat shock when working outdoors, prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially for laborers working at sites.
Therefore, Ricons has launched the program “Refreshing Lemon Tea, Beating the Heat Wave” for laborers working at sites. This program is held weekly throughout the hot season.
In addition, site management board also provide laborers with water bottles, and sun hats for sun protection. It is hoped that these practical gifts and care from Ricons will alleviate the harsh heat of summer days, contributing to the care and protection of the health of laborers working at construction sites.
