manufacturing firms: As summer turns extreme, manufacturing firms go the extra mile to keep workers cool
As extreme summer heat leads to increased absenteeism and reduced productivity, manufacturing and engineering firms like Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro, Nayara Energy, Thermax, and Maruti Suzuki are implementing measures to protect their employees. Initiatives include providing desert coolers, air-conditioned rest areas, and AC transportation, distributing rehydration salts, conducting medical check-ups, and offering doctor consultations. Tata Steel adjusts job schedules to minimize direct sunlight exposure, while L&T extends lunch breaks for outdoor workers.
