Bilbao, Spain — A new video from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work highlights strategies to reduce the risks of heat stress on the job.

“Napo in … too hot to work!” is the latest video from EU-OSHA to feature the animated character.

The 90-second video follows Napo – the “lighthearted” hero of an EU-OSHA series of animated videos – and an office employee working in hot conditions. It spotlights some signs of heat-related illnesses to be aware of (including sweating, red skin and dark urine) and provides practical solutions for employers.
