NAWIC Safety Letter

As temperatures rise, so does the importance of staying cool and hydrated on the job.

• Hydration and Electrolyte Balance
  - Staying hydrated and replenishing electrolytes help from dehydration.
  Consider water, sports drinks, coconut water, or electrolyte tablets.
• Light Clothing
  - Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light colored to reflect the sun. Hats and
  sunglasses are an added layer of protection.
• Educate Yourself
  - Educate yourself and your team about the signs of heat related illnesses such
  as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Symptoms include dizziness, rapid pulse,
  and confusion.

Hydrate, shade, and work smart.
