Heat-related illnesses can be dangerous. Let's explore what the risks could be:
Heat exhaustion - dizziness, weakness, sweating, headache
Heat stroke - confusion, no sweating, high body temp Dehydration - fatigue, muscle cramps, slower reactions
What can happen?
Your body works harder in the heat, which leads to more sweat, fluid loss, and faster fatigue. This can affect both your health and job safety, especially when lifting, driving, or operating machinery. By preparing and knowing the signs, you can stay safe and alert.

Useful tip

Don’t forget ears, neck, and forearms - common exposed spots Sunglasses with UV protection protect your eyes while driving
Wear light coloured clothing. Why? Dark or heavy clothes trap heat and restrict sweat evaporation.
