When the temperatures rise, so do the risks. That’s why it’s more important than ever to stay focused on heat safety in the field.

Here are a few hot-weather safety tips from the EnerCorp 1Team:

Hydration: 3 waters to 1 sports drink is a smart rule of thumb to replenish fluids and electrolytes.

Breaks:

• 10-minute shaded or cool-area breaks every hour in the heat.
• If temps are 103–115°F or higher, increase that to 15 minutes (or more) to keep core body temps in check.

PPE Tips:

• FR gear is required, but lightweight cotton base layers can help with breathability.
• Long sleeves can actually keep you cooler by blocking direct sunlight.

Plan for the Heat:

• Discuss heat hazards in your JSA and evaluate high-risk tasks like lifting or working in direct sun.
