TO REDUCE RISK DURING OUTDOOR WORK THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND
HEALTH ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS SCHEDULING FREQUENT REST BREAKS
IN A SHADED OR AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT. ANYONE OVERCOME BY
HEAT SHOULD BE MOVED TO A COOL LOCATION. HEAT STROKE IS AN
EMERGENCY...CALL 9 1 1.

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. THE COMBINATION OF HOT
TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION
IN WHICH HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES ARE LIKELY. DRINK PLENTY OF
FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN
AND CHECK ON ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

YOUNG CHILDREN AND PETS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN A
VEHICLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE DURING
HOT WEATHER WHEN A CAR'S INTERIOR CAN REACH LETHAL TEMPERATURES
IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

KEEP PETS IN A COOL ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDE THEM WITH PLENTY OF
WATER.
