Pro Dry Tech Month
Our mission is to promote awareness for linemen around preventing heat stress before it leads to larger complications like heat illness and stroke. In support of PDT Month, like-minded brands DragonWear, Vimocity, Wye Delta, and trainer Ken Lulow have formed a collaborative effort aimed at promoting conversation and highlighting supportive measures for utility workers across PPE, hydration, movement, and mental preparedness.
While heat stress is a perennial topic, factors have grown more complicated over the years. Today, conditions are hotter, the demands are harder, and the work is more technical.
In the last several decades, average temperatures in the United States have risen by approximately 2.6°F, with some regions experiencing even more dramatic increases such as Alaska (+4.3°F), and Delaware and New Jersey (+3.7°F). Rising temperatures contributes to more frequent and intense heat, posing serious risks for workers by increasing the likelihood of heat stress and related symptoms.
If that’s not enough to deal with, line work is becoming increasingly technical with advancements in grid technology and renewable energy integration, as well as the need for more complex transmission work. With more than ever to focus on, linemen have to pay attention to fundamentals and practice protective measures on the job; what seems like the basics can sneak in and cause harmful, even potentially fatal issues.
To celebrate this initiative, we are offering linemen a special giveaway!
