Get in the Habit of Staying Cool

Summer is here again; you will be exposed to hot and humid conditions.  Hot weather and high humidity can spell disaster!

In one day a worker exposed to the heat can produce 2 to 3 gallons of sweat.  It's important that you drink as much water as you're losing through perspiration Don't only use thirst as an indication of when to drink.  Your urine is one way to understand how dehydrated you are.

ARE YOU PROPERLY HYDRATED? What color is your urine? Use your urine color* as a indicator to your level of dehydration

Drink water immediately! Your body is not getting enough water
DEHYDRATED BRIGHT YELLOW -
Drink a 1/2 to a full bottle of water right now (1/4 to 1/2 liters)
