It’s a heatwave:
A part of our ongoing service plan to our clients and partners is to remind everyone to keep all: family members, guests, employees, coworkers, subcontractors, EVERYONE hydrated through this latest heat wave. This includes anyone working at your home.
The various news stations are recommending:
- Frozen Yogurt is better to keep people hydrated than ice cream (it has more water than ice cream).
- Alternate Water and Electrolytes hydrating drinks (i.e. Sports Drink) as too much of the sugar in these drinks will cause dehydration.
- Keep an eye on all employees and allow for additional breaks to cool down the core body temperature.
- Hydration test – pinch the skin under the eyes or on the back of the hand, if it holds it shape then the employee is getting dehydrated.
- Wear Sunscreen.
Additionally, please keep and eye on any clients that visit your office. Should anyone look dehydrated, ask them is you can provide them with a drink of water or offer them a seat in the shade. If an employer, document this for onsite records and include the person’s name and if they need attention.
