Q: What elements in the workplace impede automotive workers safety?

A: Overall, across the marketplace, heat stress is a major issue for vehicle service professionals. It is critical that we provide durable, comfortable clothing with proper ventilation. Staying cool through extremely hot temperatures is a nod to the uniform you wear. Dickies WorkTech garments include mesh in the back, which is right in the “heat zone.” That’s where body heat gathers and collects from the base of the neck and all the way down. Increased ventilation ensures our customers stay as cool as possible and safe on the job.
