Heat Illness Prevention
 

Avoid medications that produce adverse effects while in sun.

Stay hydrated--drink plenty of water.

Wear light-weight, loose fitting clothing; wear sunglasses to protect eyes; wear wide-brim hats.

Take frequent breaks when experiencing adverse reaction to the sun.

Have supervisors provide cooling stations placed at various locations.
