Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of

or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and

should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.
