Such a decline has already caused economic losses of \u20ac2.4 billion. Heat stress puts an additional strain on the cardiovascular system, leading to thousands of hospitalizations annually, and is also responsible for as many as 25% of accidents among US firefighters.<br \/>On the other hand, traditional air conditioning is not an ideal solution. It increases energy consumption and CO\u2082 emissions, worsening climate change in the long run. Furthermore, it is often impractical for open construction sites or industrial facilities. The solution lies in smart protective equipment.       <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Technology that saves lives: Smart PPE<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>E-COOLINE functional clothing represents an eco-friendly and effective solution. It mimics the body&#8217;s natural cooling system through controlled water evaporation. The material can retain a large amount of water while the surrounding clothing remains dry. The cooling effect automatically intensifies as the outside temperature rises. The result is long-lasting relief that can endure for hours or even days. Scientific tests confirm the effectiveness of this technology: at an ambient temperature of 30 \u00b0C, E-COOLINE can maintain a comfortable 16 \u00b0C for more than 20 hours.      <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27742222\" src=\"https:\/\/siga.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/E-COOLINE-Powercool-SX3-KuehlTankTop-kuehlendes-Tanktop-ECOOLINE-2023-Powercool-SX3-TankTop-damen-Frau-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27742223\" src=\"https:\/\/siga.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/E-COOLINE-Powercool-SX3-Bandana-kuehlendes-Bandana-E-COOLINE-2023-Powercool-SX3-Bandana-kopf-kuehlen-kuehlende-muetze-schwarz-Sportler-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27742234\" src=\"https:\/\/siga.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/E-COOLINE-Powercool-SX3-ShirtWeste-Kuehlweste-kuehlende-Weste-ECOOLINE-2023-Powercool-SX3-Shirtweste-gesundheit-am-arbeitsplatz-schwarz-Model-f-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Investing in innovative protective equipment that successfully neutralizes heat stress is the only surefire way to safeguard the health of the workforce and maintain stable company productivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to prevent heat stress at work?
