Description
The Eastern half of the United States is experiencing record high temperatures. It's summer and all, so some heat is to be expected, but that doesn't make it any easier for the workers in factories or the people trying to maintain the national power grid.
Discussing worker safety and power availability in the hot summer are:
- Dave Blanchard, editor-in-chief of EHS Today
- Robert Schoenberger, editor-in-chief of IndustryWeek
- Jeff Postelwait, managing editor of T&D World
We discussed how to spot signs of heat stress and how the nation's obsession with ChatGPT may lead to blackouts.
