Happy July, Everyone! As we prepare for festivities (Independence Day), outdoor activities, and vacations, it is important to take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses, which occur when the body is unable to cool itself efficiently after exposure to heat stressors. Remember to hydrate frequently, rest, and seek shade.
EH&S’ Heat Illness Prevention Training on Trojan Learn highlights Heat Illness Awareness and outlines the additional measures supervisors and employees need to take when temperatures rise above 80 degrees. Also, visit the Heat Illness Prevention page for resources and tips to avoid heat illness.
Here are upcoming holidays and observances:
- Independence Day – July 4th
- World Chocolate Day – July 7th
