Heat stress is a workplace safety risk and a real cost to your business. INUTEQ® wearable cooling is a practical, low-cost solution — no infrastructure required.

The numbers are significant — and they're only growing as Australian summers intensify. Beyond the financial impact, heat stress increases workplace accident risk, reduces concentration and decision-making, and places your duty of care under pressure.

The numbers are significant. Research published in Nature Climate Change found that heat stress costs Australian businesses approximately USD $655 per worker per year in lost productivity and absenteeism — representing a national economic burden of over USD $6.2 billion annually. A separate peer-reviewed study puts Australian labour productivity losses from heat stress at over AUD $7 billion per year.
Beyond the financial impact, heat stress increases the risk of workplace accidents, reduces concentration and decision-making, and places your duty of care obligations under pressure.
The good news: wearable personal cooling is a practical, low-cost intervention that can be deployed immediately — no infrastructure required.
Traditional air conditioning cools the environment. Personal cooling vests cool the person — which is far more efficient, particularly for outdoor workers, factory environments and anyone working in PPE where air conditioning simply isn't an option.
According to the Australian Government (energy.gov.au), heating and cooling accounts for 20–50% of workplace energy costs depending on climate zone. Personal cooling vests require no energy infrastructure — just water or a refrigerator for the PAC range — making them a cost-effective complement or alternative to fixed cooling systems.

Outdoor sites, factories, PPE environments and vehicles — personal cooling goes where fixed systems can't reach.
According to the Australian Government, heating and cooling accounts for 20–50% of workplace energy costs. Personal cooling vests require only water or a refrigerator — no installation, no ongoing energy load.
