I'll have to ask a manager to be absolutely sure, but I don't think so

He could have developed heat stroke. The person whom was affected should DEFINITELY be reported as an injury, as I said.
Be a nice guy and whisper in his ear.

A couple years ago we had a FT employee have heat stroke and passed away on the sort aisle (2008). This was in Mass. Also in NH, documented on this site, a driver passed away in his truck.

Heat is no joke - hopefully everyone takes precautions and is not afraid to "slow down and drink plenty of fluids"....don't let this company, job or the frantic pace of the work flow get the best of you.
