Heat Stress Warning Signs

Courtesy of our one of our IMA students, Terry, who works at WCF Insurance:

"As we all know, it is HOT and only getting HOTTER Next Week! It is critical that we make sure that our employees stay hydrated and that we know the warning signs of heat stress.

The CDC has a great website article on this topic. Please see: Warning Signs and Symptoms of Heat-Related Illness | Natural Disasters and Severe Weather | CDC. [Here is a link to the] .pdf of the warning signs and action to take so that you can print it out if you would like: Heat-Related Illness

Here is a CDC article on hydration: Heat Stress: Hydration (cdc.gov)

Also, the OSHA website has a lot of great information on the topic: Heat - Overview: Working in Outdoor and Indoor Heat Environments | Occupational Safety and Health Administration (osha.gov)

Stay safe out there!"
