In this scary video, a Phoenix UPS deliveryman was filmed collapsing with heat exhaustion on a doorbell camera, as extreme heat blankets most of the US. The homeowner discovered the distress on his RING camera and posted it so UPS management would see it.
In response, the company said that their drivers are ‘trained’ for hot weather and because they have so many stops, AC wouldn’t help.
‘UPS drivers are trained to work outdoors and for the effects of hot weather,’ according to a statement. ‘Our employee used his training to be aware of his situation and contact his manager for assistance, who immediately provided assistance.’
And it is not just the States: record high temperatures currently grip Europe, with London officials asking people to stay home and wildfires raging in Spain, France and elsewhere.
