Instructions

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.

Look before you lock! Do not leave young children and pets in
unattended vehicles for even a moment. Car interiors will very
quickly reach lethal temperatures.

Drink plenty of fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty, but avoid
alcohol and caffeine. Stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on elderly and vulnerable relatives and
neighbors.
