Summer heat

So far the summer has been really nice, but 100 degree days are just around the corner!  Here are some
safety tips to survive the summer heat.

• Stay in a cool place indoors or under a shady tree. 
• Wear light, loose-fitting clothing, such as cotton, so sweat can evaporate
• Drink lots of liquids - cool or cold water, drink sport drinks, such as Gatorade, etc. Keep your body hydrated by drinking 8oz of cool water every 15 -20 minutes.
• Do not stay in or leave anyone in a closed, parked car during hot weather.
• Perform the most stressful job in the cooler part of the day if possible . 
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat with vents. 
• Use an umbrella for shade. 
• If you feel hot, try to cool off. Open a window. Use a fan. Go to an air-conditioned place.
