TO REDUCE RISK WHILE WORKING OUTDOORS, THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY

BREAKS IN A SHADED OR AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT. ANYONE OVERCOME
BY HEAT SHOULD BE MOVED TO A COOL AND SHADED LOCATION. HEAT STROKE
IS AN EMERGENCY, CALL 9 1 1.

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF EXCESSIVE HEAT IS
EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY
WILL CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE.
DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS, STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM, STAY OUT
OF THE SUN AND CHECK ON ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

CHILDREN AND PETS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN A PARKED
VEHICLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BUT MOST ESPECIALLY DURING HOT
WEATHER. THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE CAN REACH LETHAL TEMPERATURES
IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET ABOUT YOUR PETS. MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE
ADEQUATE WATER AND SHELTER FROM THE SUN.
