The interview began by commenting on current issues: high temperatures and how to protect yourself from them: avoiding prolonged direct exposure to the sun, wearing appropriate clothing and hats, periodic breaks and plenty of hydration. "The adverse effects of heat depend greatly on the individual characteristics of each person, but when the ambient temperature reaches 35º C, and is accompanied by high levels of humidity, it can put health at risk. If the temperature reaches 40º C it can be dangerous even with low levels of humidity," explained the specialist.

The annual campaign that the Labor Inspection carries out to control the conditions that can cause heat stroke and that begins in construction and agricultural companies and then extends to other activities, such as bakeries and industrial facilities, was also recalled.

Next in the conversation, the work carried out by mutual insurance prevention consultants was analyzed, and specifically, by Fraternidad-Muprespa,, focusing on the idea that they do not manage the accident rate of the company, but instead teach how to do it correctly in the within the company, with its own resources and its own staff.

The quality of the services provided by the consultants of Fraternidad-Muprespa in each province, the resources contained in the web page and the online activities carried out at the national level, such as webinars or the fratertalks, free activities for companies, which do not replace but complement the work carried out by other people's prevention services.

Regarding the educational activities carried out by the consultants, the awareness-raising approach was highlighted, with the intention of generating a preventive culture and promoting safe behaviors and attitudes.
