Tech Corner:

The Technician Skills Gap in Canada

One of the most pressing issues for operators and suppliers in the vending and micro-market industries today is the skills shortage. As experienced veterans retire or leave the industry, there are fewer qualified individuals to replace them. The growing complexity of technology used in maintenance requires more digitally-skilled workers, which are currently in short supply. 

5 Ways to Prevent Heat Stress

Working in the intense heat of the summer sun can put workers at risk of heat stress, but heat stress can also hit you in environments you wouldn't expect.

Heat stress occurs anytime the body temperature rises, and the body cannot cool itself. This can be a result of the climate, exposure to radiant heat or when a job requires work in, around or with hot equipment; even jobs carried out in air-conditioned environments or jobs that have you moving back and forth between air-conditioning and the hot outdoors can also impact the body’s ability to cool itself.
