Coping with the Heat
In order to stay cool and safe throughout the summer months, you should consider the following tips for coping with the heat:
- Wear hats that provide shade to your face.
- Drink large quantities of water and steer clear of dehydrating liquids, like coffee and alcohol.
- Do not exercise or partake in strenuous physical activity during the hottest part of the day (2-5 o’clock).
- Swim or take cold shower to lower body temperature.
While most cases of heat exhaustion and stroke can be avoided by taking simple preventative measures, negligent employers or homeowners can make certain unsafe conditions unavoidable for workers or guests.
