As temperatures rise, National Heat Awareness Day serves as an important reminder to recognize the signs of heat illness and look out for one another.
At IES Communications, safety is always our priority, and knowing the warning signs of heat-related illness can help prevent serious emergencies before they happen.
⚠️ Watch for symptoms such as:
- Headache, nausea, weakness, or dizziness
- Heavy sweating or hot, dry skin
- Elevated body temperature
- Thirst or decreased urine output
If someone is showing signs of heat illness:
✔ Move them to a cooler area with water, rest, and shade
✔ Provide cool drinking water
✔ Use water, ice, or fans to cool the body
✔ Seek medical attention when needed
When in doubt, always seek professional help by calling 911.
Let’s continue working together to keep our teams safe, hydrated, and aware in all we do!
