Description

Heat illness is preventable… but prevention requires everyone to pay attention. Remember…

  • Water. Rest. Cool Down. Drink regularly, take appropriate breaks, and use cooler or shaded recovery areas.
  • Give your body time to adjust. New and returning workers need time to acclimatize.
  • Know the warning signs. Heavy sweating, weakness, headache, nausea, dizziness, cramps, confusion, or unusual behavior should never be ignored.

And most importantly: Confusion + Heat = Emergency
