• You may sweat. The body produces sweat so the evaporation will cool you off.
Sweating isn’t as effective if the air is very humid, because not as much sweat
evaporates.
• Heat rash is possible. You get it when your sweat glands swell and get plugged up.
• You can get sunburn if you’re in direct sunlight too long without using a sunscreen
product on your skin. Sunburn can be painful and may even lead to skin cancer.
2. If you don’t pay attention to these early symptoms and get out of the
heat,
salts (called electrolytes) that you lose by sweating, you may get muscle
pain or muscle spasms. These are most common in the arms, legs, back,
and
stomach.
• Heat exhaustion can follow. Your whole body (especially your circulatory
• Heat stroke is the most serious stage of heat disorders. Your body

shoots up. 50% of people with heat stroke die. Symptoms are:
3. What’s the best treatment for the different stages of heat disorders?
• Heat cramps — Stop work, drink fluids, and rest in a cool area. Drinking
electrolyte solutions may also help.
• Heat exhaustion — Give first aid by moving the person to a cool place to rest.
Remove as much clothing as possible. Give the person water. Drinking electrolyte
solutions may also help. Don’t allow the person to get chilled, and treat for shock
if necessary. Get medical help.
— You drink alcohol or take drugs (either illegal drugs or prescription drugs).
— You wear some kinds of personal protective equipment (PPE) on the job.
Some PPE (like a full body suit) is hot. Other PPE (like a respirator) increases the
stress on your body in other ways, making it harder for the body to fight the
heat.
— You are not used to working in heat. The more you work in heat, the more
your body gets used to it. This is called becoming acclimatized to heat.
different.
• You shouldn’t do strenuous work all day on a hot job until you’ve become
acclimatised.
• When you are acclimatized, your body temperature and heart rate will be lower.
You will sweat more, but your sweat will be less salty so you won’t lose as
much salt.
• You lose acclimatization in a few weeks if you stop working in the heat.
• In addition to providing this training, the company will: (Mention all that
apply)
— Drink a lot of cool water (or an electrolyte solution). You may need a quart
an hour or more, depending on conditions. Drink even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Point out where drinking water and break areas are located on this site:
— Wear appropriate clothing when you’re in the sun. The best clothing is a loose,
lightweight cotton shirt and pants in a light color. Wear a wide-brimmed hat
in the sun.
— Use a sunscreen product to protect your skin from ultraviolet rays in sunlight. It
should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. (Check the label.)
— Take frequent cool showers if possible.
— Limit your use of alcohol. Ask your doctor about prescription drugs you’re
taking.
• Use the buddy system. Watch your co-worker for signs of heat stress.
