CWA Surveying Outside Techs About Heat Stress, Employer Response

As summer heats up, CWA is asking outside technicians to take an online survey to help assess how many members have suffered heat stress symptoms and what employers are doing to limit exposure and provide training.

The five-question survey is at http://www.cwa-union.org/pages/cwa_heat_stress_survey. Local presidents and staff will be receiving an e-mail about the survey and are asked to make sure that all outside technicians are notified.

Potentially deadly, heat stress is a growing concern for CWA's Safety and Health Department, which just published a new heat stress brochure. Copies can be downloaded here. It can be found on the Safety and Health webpage at www.cwa-union.org.

For questions about the survey, contact Safety and Health Director Dave LeGrande at legrande@cwa-union.org.
