Open Industry: All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate.
Description:
On April 17, AAFA released the AAFA Guide to Protecting Workers from Heat Stress to provide practical and actionable recommendations that can be operationalized in supply chains to implement policies and procedures to both mitigate and prevent excessive heat days and to protect workers when excessive heat days do occur.
The briefing will walk through the guidance, its recommendations, and implementation. We will also answer any questions the audience might have about the guidance.
The AAFA Guide to Protecting Workers from Heat Stress was composed with representatives from the entire supply chain – retailers, brands, manufacturers, and material suppliers – and with consultation with key stakeholders representing both the industry, academia, MSIs, international organizations, NGOs, and more. The AAFA Guide to Protecting Workers from Heat Stress will be regularly reviewed to incorporate new or updated information regarding heat related illness, best practices, or global standards to reflect the most up to date and accurate guidance.
The AAFA Guide to Protecting Workers from Heat Stress is open to all industry stakeholders for widespread sharing of best practices and will be updated annually.
Speakers to be confirmed. The briefing will be recorded.
Call information will be provided in the "Important Event Information" section of your registration confirmation.
