Norfolk Naval Shipyard Uses Evacuation Signage and Black Flags to Combat Heat Stress
Heat stress is a serious concern for those working in extreme environments, and the Norfolk Naval Shipyard is taking proactive steps to ensure the safety of its workforce. According to a recent article on the Navy’s official website, the shipyard has installed new evacuation signage and black flags to help protect employees from hazardous conditions, including heat stress.
These flags serve as a visual alert, letting workers know when heat stress risks are high and when it’s time to take necessary precautions. This simple yet effective method is part of a broader strategy to reduce risks and safeguard personnel working in one of the nation’s busiest naval shipyards.
