Know The Signs Of Heat Related Illness

Know The Signs Of Heat Related Illness

Today is officially the first day of summer and although we’ve had lower than normal temperatures here in the Brandenburg, Kentucky area, things are bound to heat up eventually. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to tackle some outdoor landscaping, gardening, or you’re in the landscape business, working in extreme heat can become a dangerous situation if the proper precautions aren’t taken. Understanding heat related illness and recognizing the signs and symptoms of it can be lifesaving information.

When it comes to working outdoors in the heat the most important thing to make sure of is that you and your crew have access to plenty of water and a cool area to take breaks. If you or your crew must be outside during the hottest part of the day, make sure to take breaks and rehydrate in the shade, indoors, or in an air-conditioned vehicle. Sun protection is also important and anyone spending an extended amount of time in the sun and heat should consider wearing sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and even a lightweight long sleeve shirt for full sun protection.

Taking preventative measures to protect yourself (or your crews) also means becoming familiar with the signs of heat-related illnesses. These can come on fast and potentially become life-threatening so it’s important that you know what to look for.
