Hot cars in the summertime

by @ 9:55 pm. Filed under Human Error, Industrial Hygiene, Safety

In the summer sun, the inside temperature of an automobile with the doors closed can rise 19 degrees in ten minutes and 43 degrees in an hour.  Anytime you prepare to lock and leave an automobile, take a few seconds to “sweep” the car or van visually to make sure you haven’t forgotten something–or someone like a baby, toddler or pet.  Left inside a closed automobile, a child’s core temperature can reach the lethal 107 degrees F.
