Heat Safety
Preventing Heat-Related Illness
Heat-related illnesses can occur indoors or outdoors and can become serious if not addressed quickly. Common conditions include heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
To stay safe, drink water frequently, take breaks in shaded or cooled areas, wear breathable clothing when possible, and gradually adjust to working in hot conditions. Watch for warning signs such as headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, cramps, or confusion.
If symptoms occur, stop work, move to a cool area, hydrate, and notify a supervisor immediately. Remember, heat illness is preventable; stay hydrated, take breaks, and speak up early.
