TOO HOT TO IGNORE☀
Heat stress can sneak up fast. By the time you feel seriously unwell, your body may already be struggling.
Stay ahead of the heat with 5 simple habits:
1. DRINK WATER
Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Hydrate regularly.
2. TAKE SHADE BREAKS
Give your body time to cool down, especially during extreme heat.
3. DRESS SMART
Choose light, loose and breathable clothing.
4. ACCLIMATE SLOWLY
Give your body time to adjust when starting or returning to work in hot conditions.
5. WATCH YOUR BUDDY
Look out for dizziness, confusion, stumbling or unusual behaviour. Speak up if something doesn’t look right.
Heat stress is preventable.
Take breaks. Drink water. Look out for each other.
Stay cool. Stay alert. Go home safe.
