For a construction space or simply a large and crowded space in general, it is important to have the essential utilities, from a rental dehumidifier to rental heaters, to keep the place comfortable as well as safe. In places without these, serious side consequences can occur in reaction to an uncomfortable environment. These consequences range from heat stroke to frostbite and they can also range from very minor to very severe – even life threatening if left untreated for long enough. Some other consequences are less urgent, but can still result the overall outcome of a project.
For construction workers in the United States, temperature regulation is particularly important. The climate in many places of the United States varies widely over the course of the entire year, and sometimes even throughout the day. A morning may start off cool and comfortable but turn into scorching heat by the afternoon. And vice versa – an incredibly hot day can lead into a cold night. For those who work in the outdoors or in exposed spaces – like partially built commercial buildings and homes, it is extra important to have access to the resources to keep these spaces fit for working and habitation – even on just a short term (typically the duration of the project – or however long it takes for the structure to be completed to the standards of those who commissioned its construction). These devices can commonly do include a rental dehumidifier, a rental heater, or a rental air conditioner.
The effects of too much heat can have a measured negative impact on the productivity of workers, making them feel sluggish, slow, and tired. Ideally, the temperature in a work space should not exceed seventy one point six degrees and should be monitored regularly to keep it within this range. This specific temperature has been found to be the peak temperature before productivity rates among workers – no matter what kind of work they may be doing – start to drop. A too hot environment can also cause heat exhaustion. If caught early, the heat exhaustion in a worker is likely to be mild, resulting in only a few symptoms such as heat cramps. However, if heat exhaustion goes unnoticed and therefore untreated for too long, and the worker remains exposed to the heat for this period of time, heat stroke is likely to occur. Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat exhaustion and can lead to serious consequences – even death – if it is not treated as immediately as possible. A rental air conditioner can help to prevent problems such as these before they occur, as well as regular water breaks for outdoor workers.
Allergies should also be controlled as much as possible in an outdoor workspace, as they can become severe and significantly impact the productivity and comfort of the employees on the job. This can be done with a rental dehumidifier. A rental dehumidifier works by reducing the relative humidity to under fifty percent, which has been shown to cut down on allergens. A rental dehumidifier can also help to create comfortable work space during the winter months, when the air is more likely to become dry. The rental dehumidifier can restore the missing moisture back into the air, making it more comfortable in general.
From a rental dehumidifier to a rental heater, there are a number of temporary cooling and temporary heating measures that can be taken to help keep workers not only comfortable, but safe.
