This summer, protect your employees from costly urgent care visits and emergencies with these simple and effective summer safety tips:
1. Stay Hydrated
Encourage employees to drink plenty of water, especially whenever they are spending time outdoors. This helps prevent dehydration and heat-related illnesses.
2. Use Sun Protection
Even on cloudy days, it's important to protect our skin against the sun's harmful UV rays. Encourage your employees to wear sunscreen and protective clothing like sunglasses and hats, to keep their skin safe from the sun. Keep in mind that clouds do not fully block UV rays. Even on cloudy days, there is still a potential for sunburn.
A broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 or higher is recommended. 🌤
3. Practice Water Safety
Water-related accidents and emergencies increase during the summer.
Remind your employees to practice water safety habits when swimming, boating, or participating in water activities. They should wear life jackets, closely supervise children near water, and be aware of potential dangers including cold weather temperatures and strong currents.
4. Use Bug Repellent
It's important to take precautions against bugs that are common in your region.
Advise your employees to use insect repellent to ward off mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when the weather permits can also help minimize exposed skin. Employees should avoid areas with stagnant water where mosquitoes breed and check themselves and their pets for ticks after spending time outdoors.
5. Wear Protective Gear
Remind employees to wear safety gear such as helmets, life jackets, and protective gear whenever biking, swimming, or playing sports. This helps reduce the risk of serious injuries or accidents.
Keep costly urgent care visits and emergencies at bay this summer by sharing these summer safety tips with your team!
