Know the signs of heat exhaustion.
Weakness.
Headache.
Cramps.
Muscle pain.
Heavy sweating.
STOP. Get to shade. Drink water, or Pedialyte is better.
Rest, stop working.
Don't fuck around with heat exhaustion, it can rapidly turn into heat stroke.
And heat stroke is deadly.
Also if you recently suffered heat exhaustion, you are much more likely to suffer it again and worse.
The next step is heat stroke, and that can be fatal
@corlin Very important information, unless you are a farm worker or laborer in Florida.
Florida House Bill 433, which DeSantis signed into law in April, prohibits local governments from requiring shade or water breaks for outdoor workers, or even giving preference to employers based on their heat exposure requirements.May 8, 2024
This was directed at Mexican immgrant farmworkers, but impacted the safety of the construction industry as well.
