Staying safe in high temperatures<\/p>\n
Safety tips from the Environmental Health and Safety office at UC Irvine<\/a>:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Drink water:<\/b> Drinking plenty of water frequently is vital for those exposed to heat. An individual may produce as much as 2 to 3 gallons of sweat per day. To replenish that fluid you should drink 3 to 4 cups of water every hour.<\/li>\n
- Take breaks:<\/b> Taking breaks in a cool shaded area and allowing time for recovery from the heat during the day are effective ways to avoid heat-related illness.<\/li>\n
- Avoid some beverages:<\/b> Avoid or limit the use of alcohol and caffeine during periods of extreme heat. Both dehydrate the body.<\/li>\n
- Stop and rest:<\/b> If you start to feel symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, weakness or unusual fatigue, rest in a cool shaded area. If symptoms persist or worsen seek immediate medical attention.<\/li>\n
- Clothing:<\/b> Whenever possible, wear clothing that provides protection from the sun but allows airflow to the body. Protect your head and shade your eyes when outdoors.<\/li>\n
- Be prepared:<\/b> When in the heat be sure to pay extra attention to those you\u2019re with and be sure you know how to call for medical attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
