Additional Information

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
