Carmel, Sep 21, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Unfortunately, that old adage doesn't fly with people who are required to work in hot environments for extended hours at a time. Some workplaces can find temperatures above 80 degrees as a norm and even as high as 90 degrees. This is where the body is working overtime to stay cool, causing fatigue and loss of focus.
To help address this issue, NoNetz, the maker of the SMARTees cooling shirts and activewear, is co-sponsoring legislation in the US Congress to address the working conditions for employees who work outside of controlled climates. The bill is called Asuncion Valdivia Heat Illness and Fatality Prevention Act.
"If my guys are exposed to high temperatures for a period of time, not only is it dangerous, it can impact the quality of the work", says Brian Van Etten, VP of Construction Services out for Markarian Construction. Markarian Construction is one of many companies that struggle with keeping employees safe while ensuring that operations keep going. The SMARTees performance cooling shirts were designed to help with this issue specifically.
How it works is that NoNetz SMARTees cooling shirts first pull perspiration away from the body. Once they've done this, the moisture then interacts with the material in the shirt and the air to help lower the body's temperature, and it does this through our SMARTee technology. These are innovative hydro-functional polymers that provide a unique responsive material that changes its properties in response to body temperature, dynamically evaporating moisture to complement the skin's natural ability to regulate its temperature for a continuous cooling effect. SMARTees is like having a personal thermostat in your clothes for smart temperature management to help control sweat and odor.
"Most companies have no idea that this problem is solvable," says Cathy Paraggio, Founder of NoNetz. "Our hope by co-sponsoring this legislation is to help raise awareness and provide options for the hard-working people of this country and enhance their working environment."
Founded in 2016, NoNetz is performance apparel engineered for comfort, safety, and confidence. NoNetz is currently operating out of the United States, Canada, and Australia.
