New technology designed to protect construction workers in Qatar from dangerously high temperatures
In Qatar, there has been a major issue with extremely high temperatures endangering worker safety and causing fatalities, especially amongst construction workers. In response to this labor issue and Qatar hosting the World Cup in 2022, new technology called the StayQool suit was developed to keep workers cool while working outside in extreme heat. With temperatures rising globally and research showing that deadly heatwaves are likely to become more common, other countries may also begin to seek out cooling technology like the StayQool suit to help workers avoid heat stress amidst these conditions and continue production.
