ABS-CBN News/file</div>The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has urged government agencies to craft contingency plans to protect workers stationed outdoors from risks linked to extremely hot weather conditions.On Teleradyo Serbisyo, CSC Commissioner Atty. Aileen Lourdes Lizada said government agencies can issue internal policies to help their employees.“Since mainit po ang ating panahon, pag-aralan ho ng mabuti ng mga heads of agencies kung ano po yung puwedeng itulong nila sa ating mga kawani ng gobyerno. Unang-una yung suot nila, are they properly protected, dry-fit ba if we are talking about field officers, yung nagwawalis, traffic enforcers,” Lizada said.Lizada also said the Department of Energy can also revisit its policy on the use of airconditioning units in all agencies of the government.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/2/23/drought-affects-41-provinces-as-el-ni-o-heats-up-1714">Drought affects 41 provinces as El Niño heats up</a></div>“Baka puwedeng balikan ng DOE, if the policy is still the same because ang heat sa labas ay ibang klase na rin. We allow light/loose clothing during summer para sa kawani ng gobyerno,” she added.According to Dr. Paolo Miguel Borja, aside from keeping oneself hydrated, wearing proper attire if you are working outside or under the heat of the sun will keep you a bit cooler this summer season.“Kailangan tandaan lang ang tatlong bagay… First stay cool, pangalawa stay hydrated at pangatlo ay stay informed. Pumili ng light weight at loose fitting na mga damit maluluwag. ‘Wag color black kasi insulator ito, nag-a-absorb ng init, umiwas muna sa labas at mag stay muna sa loob ng tahanan. Ang mga activities na outdoor mas maganda i-limit sa oras ng tanghali mas maganda po schedule natin sila ng mas maayos sa umaga o sa gabi para makaiwas sa init,” Borja told Teleradyo Serbisyo.In Quezon City, the LGUs Traffic and Transport Management Department is implementing adjustments to make sure all their personnel out on the field are safe from heatstroke and other illness brought about by the prevailing weather condition.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/2/18/mga-lugar-na-apektado-ng-el-ni-o-posible-umanong-madagdagan-1846">Mga lugar na apektado ng El Niño posible umanong madagdagan</a></div>“Sa mga medyo may edad na enforcer, nilalagay natin sila sa location na hindi masyadong ma-traffic. Possible yun, meron kasing Type A, Type B na uniform…titingnan natin kung talagang the weather is really very humid….puwedeng mag-alternate, T-shirt yung pantaas and yung pantalon niya the same pa rin,” according to Dexter Cardenas, head of QC Traffic and Transport Management Department.Experts advised the public to monitor news for announcements of extreme heat alerts so they can plan ahead accordingly.
