As the temperatures climb, "just being hot" can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation. For crew leaders, knowing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke isn't just helpful: it’s a critical part of the job. ☀️
Heat Exhaustion is your team's warning light. Look for heavy sweating, cold or clammy skin, nausea, and dizziness. This is the time to get them into the shade, provide water, and cool them down immediately.
Heat Stroke is a full-blown emergency. If a worker stops sweating, has hot or red skin, shows confusion, or loses consciousness, call 911 right away. At this stage, their body can no longer regulate its own temperature.
Early recognition saves lives. Make it a habit to check in on your crew every hour during peak heat. ⚠️
