Hydration Matters

When the sun is beating down and you're working hard outdoors, water isn't just a nice-to-have—it's your lifeline. Hydration keeps your body cool, your energy steady, and your focus sharp. Without it, you risk heat exhaustion, dizziness, and even heat stroke—and nobody has time for that in the middle of a busy workday.

Dehydration is a silent danger during hot weather. It reduces physical performance, impairs judgment, and increases the risk of heat-related illness.

Signs of Dehydration

• Dry mouth

• Headaches

• Fatigue

• Dark yellow urine

• Dizziness

Best Hydration Practices

• Drink water every 15-20 minutes.

• Eat water-rich foods like fruits.

• Avoid energy drinks and alcohol.

• Provide electrolyte drinks when sweating heavily.

• Drink vitamins

How Employers Can Help

• Supply clean water stations on-site

• Remind workers to hydrate frequently.

• Adjust schedules to avoid peak heat.

Hydration Saves Lives

Drinking water consistently throughout the day helps stay sharp, safe, and strong on the job, because in high heat, hydration isn’t optional, it’s essential. Staying hydrated is one of the simplest ways to protect lives, and making it a habit will save lives.
