Working on Wellness: Smart Summer Safety
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the sunshine, but warmer temperatures also bring unique health and safety risks. Keep these simple tips in mind to stay safe while making the most of the season:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, even if you're not thirsty. Limit sugary drinks and alcohol which all contribute to dehydration.
Protect your Skin and Eyes: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), wear a hat and sunglasses, seek shade during peak sun hours.
Know the Signs of Heat Illness: Watch for dizziness, headaches, excessive sweating, nausea, muscle cramps, or confusion. Move to a cool place, hydrate, and seek medical attention if symptoms become severe.
Be Prepared on the Road: Keep bottles of water, a phone charger, and an emergency kit in your vehicle. Never leave children or pets unattended in a parked car.
