It's hot out there, so we're sharing this week's internal safety message with everyone.
Beat the heat by building simple safety habits into every workday:
๐ง Pre-hydrate: Start drinking water before your shift so you do not begin the day already dehydrated.
๐ฐ Hydrate throughout the day: Drink water regularly and use electrolytes when heavy sweating continues for extended periods.
๐ค๏ธ Use work-rest and cooling practices: Take advantage of shade, cooling areas, fans, and adjusted schedules when heat conditions increase.
๐ท Watch each other: Use the buddy system and speak up if a coworker shows signs of heat stress, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, or poor coordination.
๐จ Recognize a heat emergency: Treat confusion, collapse, seizures, or loss of consciousness as a medical emergency and act immediately.
Stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care of each other out there. โ๏ธ
