Extreme heat inside UPS vehicles is oppressive. UPS will not get away with this oppressive treatment forever.

Lol… yep it hit eighties again. Time to shut down for the day.

Ice anyone??

Ice? No thanks, I use some of those blue freezer packs. Works great, never have to cry for ice like some do in this thread.

Why was your water consumption thread shut down?

@MyTripisCut said it all.

Agree. I use a freezer pack myself. If it gets too warm I freeze a couple water bottles the night before. I don’t think our center has an ice machine working now.

When I was referring to ice I must have been texting my thoughts towards the glass in my hand. It’s beverage time now that I’m on vacation.

“If I could just find where I left my glass”

I don’t know of a water consumption thread. Please refresh my memory.

The topic of this thread doesn’t pertain to ice.

Lol, right. Like you don't know.

Anyway, ice is a part of personal responsibility. Not al all necessary as a part of hydration.

Don’t know the thread you are referring to. Let me know what you’re talking about.

Perhaps it is the employer responsibility as I see it. Perhaps it is personal responsibility as you see it.

Not al all necessary as a part of hydration.

Ice may not be but drinking water that is suitably cool is a necessary part of employer responsibility to employees.

What is the definition of "suitably cool"

What is the definition of "suitably cool"

Here is info from Oregon OSHA but it pretty much covers the definition recommended by Health and Safety Professionals.

https://osha.oregon.gov/OSHAPubs/factsheets/fs48.pdf

NIOSH says water should be potable, <15°C (59°friend), and made accessible near the work area.

Heat Waves Are Putting Teamsters in Danger

Some article. Lol, so hot that the driver has a long sleeved shirt and long pants!

But as profits soar at UPS, workers are falling ill and even dying. On June 25, 24-year-old Esteban Chavez Jr., a UPS driver outside of Los Angeles, passed out in his truck while temperatures were the upper 90s; he could not be revived.

Has anyone seen the medical examiners report? Cause of death?

I have started no threads with the topic Heat Queen.

Not sure of your point.

The problem with the one size fits all “suitable cool” is different for many people. I don’t like to drink extremely cold water most of the day.
