Beat the heat this Summer!

As we approach summer, it is time again to remind the university community of the risk factors for heat related illnesses and how to recognize symptoms. It is especially important that precautions be taken when the heat index is greater than 85 degrees F (29 C) and the job is physically demanding. 

Prepare your staff and students for the coming heat by discussing ways to prevent the onset of heat stress. Check out the Heat Stress website for more information.
