Today we are kicking off our Summer Safety Series with 3 key focuses to beat the heat. Learn to recognize dehydration signs like excess thirst, dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, headache, dizziness. OSHA recommends staying hydrated by drinking 8oz of water every 15-20 minutes when it's 80°F or higher! Start your day with 2 cups of water and include hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges in your diet. Understand heat illness and thermoregulation, which keeps your body cool. Risks of heat illness can include dehydration, obesity, certain medications, alcohol or drug use, inexperience, and heavy clothing. Remember, knowing the signs can save you or your coworker. Follow the hydration guidelines and never ignore what your body is telling you! #SummerSafetySeries #Safety #CoreValue #HeatPreparedness #BeatTheHeat
