Preventing heat illness

Knowledge is Key and can save a worker’s life:

Q: Can you identify the 4 health problems and their symptoms of Hot Environments?

Q: How much water is sufficient for hydration

Solution: Improve water consumption with Ready/Go® Hydration before, during and after work.

Hydration is easy when your water tastes great! Nextteq® has introduced a healthy hydration product made from real citrus – no sucralose, no dextrose, no dyes, no artificial anything. Nextteq® is putting healthy into hydration.

An average of over 3,300 work-related heat injuries and illnesses occur each year - More OSHA protections are needed as workers continue to suffer.
