Please follow these guidelines as the temperatures rise
For the latter part of the July 4 holiday week, we are expecting temperatures above 90 degrees. On Saturday, temperatures are expected to top 102. As per our heat protocol, please follow these guidelines:
- Stay hydrated by drinking water every 20 minutes.
- Schedule more strenuous work in the cooler parts of the day, such as the morning.
- Take advantage of cooler buildings such as the Murdock Library, Klages or Canyon Commons.
- Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., check on fellow employees every hour to two hours.
- Know the symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
If you have any questions about best practices during high heat, please contact Kim Knoernschild, our environmental health and safety specialist, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.
Have a festive Fourth of July!
