ColdVest

Our CEO is honored to be with at the in (very hot) Fort Lauderdale! Come find us!

Sports safety people: Join ColdVest CEO Tracie Wagman this week on the WRAP IT UP: Sports Medicine + More podcast ()with Eli Hallak. They'll be talking about being prepare for extreme heat, the evolution of ColdVest, and how ColdVest can make your team safer this summer.

A written plan is not enough.

Your team needs to practice before the emergency happens.

That means:

• Recognition training for all workers
• Role-based responder assignments
• A designated Heat Safety Representative
• Pre-season drills and refreshers
• Clear communication with EMS

Training removes hesitation.
Drills expose gaps.
Practice makes response faster when seconds matter.

Heat safety is not just a policy.
It is an operational discipline.

When was the last time your team practiced for a heat emergency?



ColdVest is the only heat stroke treatment device that requires no ice or refrigeration.
It's lightweight, portable, and can be deployed in less that 2 minutes.
Add ColdVest to your heat safety emergency action protocol before it is too late.

Emergency cooling equipment, like ColdVest, should be staged near active work areas, not locked away in a distant office, trailer, or supply room.

Your site should be ready to:

• Reach any worker in less than five minutes
• Support two simultaneous heat emergencies
• Deploy cooling without delay
• Provide hydration, shade, and recovery support
• Give EMS clear access to the scene

ColdVest supports no-ice rapid cooling when cold water immersion is not available or delayed.

Because in a heat emergency, equipment readiness is response time.

Can emergency cooling reach any worker on your site in less than five minutes?

A heat emergency is not the moment to figure out roles, equipment, access points, or next steps.

Your Emergency Action Plan should be clear, practiced, and ready:

• Remove person from heat if possible
• Call 911 and state “suspected heat stroke”
• Begin cooling immediately
• Measure core temperature if possible
• Guide EMS to the scene
• Document actions taken
• Continue cooling in transport

Cold water immersion remains the gold standard when it is available and immediately deployable.

When it is not, rapid cooling still needs to begin.

If a worker collapsed right now, would your team know exactly what to do?

Heat stroke does not always look dramatic.

A worker may not collapse immediately.
They may not stop sweating.
They may simply seem confused, disoriented, or “not right.”

In a hot work environment, that is enough.

Heat + Exertion + Altered Mental Status = Start Cooling Immediately

Delay in recognition is one of the most common failure points in heat emergencies.

• Every worker should know the signs.
• Every supervisor should know when to act.
• Every team should be trained to cool first.

Would every worker on your site recognize the signs of heat stroke or heat illness?

Heat exposure is a predictable workplace hazard. It can happen indoors or outdoors, during heat waves or ordinary workdays.

A strong heat safety plan starts before anyone collapses.

That means:

• Acclimatizing new and returning workers
• Providing water, rest, and shade
• Monitoring high-risk workers and conditions
• Using ventilation, cooling, and radiant shields indoors
• Building heat safety into daily operations

Prevention reduces risk.
But prevention only works when it becomes part of the workday.

Is heat stroke prevention second nature in your organization?

If you work in industrial safety, take note.

The update OSHA Outdoor and Indoor Heat-Related Hazards National Emphasis Program Update is live.

https://www.osha.gov/enforcement/directives/cpl-03-00-024-0

Highlights:

1. Heat enforcement is still active and more targeted OSHA’s updated NEP keeps heat as a national enforcement priority for both indoor and outdoor work and specifically targets high-risk industries, including multiple industrial and manufacturing categories.

2. Indoor heat counts just as much as outdoor heat. This is not just about summer weather or outdoor crews. OSHA specifically calls out indoor workplaces with radiant heat sources and hot processes, and the target-industry list includes sectors like foundries, nonferrous metal processing, structural metals, metalworking machinery, electrical equipment, petroleum and coal products, and warehousing.

3. OSHA is looking for a real heat program, not informal good intentions. The NEP focuses on whether employers actually have protections in place: cool water, rest, cool areas, training, acclimatization, hazard monitoring, and follow-through. For industrial businesses, that means heat response needs to be documented, understood by supervisors, and operational at the worksite.  

ColdVest is the only no-ice close proximity treatment for the symptoms of heat stroke.

It gets cold in minutes and can reduce core body temperature from life-threatening (>107°F) to safe (

COLDVEST RAPID COOLING: No ice, refrigeration or power required.

When ice is not an option, ColdVest can play a critical role keeping workers safe from heat related injury.

__________

ColdVest Rapid Core Body Cooling: protection from symptoms of heat stroke anywhere, anytime, by anyone.

ColdVest is a reliable safeguard against the dangers of extreme heat and symptoms of heat stroke. It is portable, easy to deploy, gets cold fast and stays cold for up to an hour.

ColdVest Lowers core body temperature from life-threatening to safe in 11 minutes (Cooling rate: 0.18°C/min*)

ColdVest satisfies the OSHA requirement for close-proximity treatment for heat emergencies.

ColdVest requires no ice, no power and no refrigeration.

ColdVest is ideal for workplaces where ice is not an option.

ColdVest can be stored anywhere and can be deployed in less that 2 minutes.

ColdVest should be deployed at the first sign of symptoms of heat stroke.

ColdVest is not a replacement for cold water immersion if it is available.
