bdavidson — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:47:08 +0000

It is August 2, 10:30 am on a Tuesday morning and as I write this it’s already 99F outside in Dallas, TX. Today’s high is supposed to be 110F and with an excessive heat warning for most of North Texas until Friday, the heat continues to go on with no end in sight. As DFW edges towards breaking numerous heat records, here are a couple of preventive tips people who work outside should follow to keep from getting heat stroke on a hot and sunny day.

Try not to overexert yourself while working outside.
While outside drink plenty of fluids, at least a quart an hour.
Wear loose fitting clothing that is light in color and fabric.
Keep your head cool by always wearing a hat and sunblock.
Do not drink caffeine or alcohol because they can cause dehydration.

Following these simple tips should help many people avoid heat exhaustion and heat stroke while working on the job. If someone you know gets heat stroke, call 911 immediately because it is considered an emergency.
