Follow these safety tips during heat advisory period
According to the National Weather Service, this region is under a heat advisory through Thursday evening, July 6. High temperatures are expected to range between 91 and 99 degrees in some areas.
If you are working in a building without air conditioning or outdoors, please work during the coolest parts of the day. Take advantage of cooler buildings such as Murdock Library, Klages or Canyon Commons. Stay hydrated by drinking water every 20 minutes.
During the hottest part of the day, check on fellow employees every one to two hours. In addition, be aware of the symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
