Cool-Down Rooms Designed to Protect Employees from Hot Temps

Keep your people safe and your business productive with thorough, affordable protection from Portabull's industry-first cool-down rooms.

The world's first cool-down rooms designed for protecting workers in high-heat environments

How do you protect workers from heat stress and maintain productivity safely? Studies on occupational heat stress have indicated that productivity slumps by about 25% when temperatures reach 90F and 70% when the temperature exceeds 100F. At Portabull, we know workplace safety is one of your top concerns, but how do you protect employees and maintain productivity when your workers are experiencing heat stress?

Portabull designed the industry’s first cool-down room for people, marking a revolutionary upgrade from things like oilfield cooling trailers, misting tents, and other make-shift solutions. Traditional cooler trailers are often simple open trailers with cool-down fans or portable AC units attached, and they cannot reach and maintain a specific temperature range. You can bid farewell to your out-of-date cooling method and promote workplace heat safety with us.

Understand the danger of heat for your employees

The Impact of Extreme Heat on Human Health

In addition to the toll on global economics, heat is a considerable threat to human health. According to OSHA, between 1992 and 2017, heat stress injuries killed 815 U.S. laborers and seriously injured more than 70,000. A case study from NIOSH reported that a 41-year-old construction worker working in 93F heat collapsed with a recorded body temperature of 108F and died one day after being admitted to the hospital.

Portabull can help protect those at risk for heat stress with our portable cool-down rooms or cooler box. We know employee safety is a huge concern for your company, so we have purpose-built our walk-in cool-down rooms for your employees’ safety. Don’t fall victim to rising occupational heat-related injuries, deaths, and lost productivity.
