Heat is one of the most underestimated hazards on a construction site.
When temperatures on a job site approach 100°F, the risk to our crews can change by the hour.
Elevated tank construction doesn't stop for summer. Our teams work through some of the most extreme conditions and managing that safely requires more than just water coolers on site.
Here is how Landmark approaches hot weather safety:
▪️ Adjusted work schedules. work schedules are shifted to early morning or overnight hours when conditions allow.
▪️ Hydration and rest cycles. Crews schedule work-rest intervals based on heat index, not just temperature. Supervisors monitor conditions throughout the day.
▪️ Heat illness training. Every field team member is trained to recognize the early signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, in themselves and in their coworkers.
▪️ Task planning around exposure. High-exertion tasks are scheduled during cooler hours. When possible, work is performed at grade rather than at elevation, reducing radiant heat exposure.
Summer doesn't pause construction timelines, but it demands a different level of planning to keep people safe while delivering on schedule.
