Follow these steps during this week’s heat wave
We are still in an excessive heat warning until the middle of the week. As per our heat protocol, please follow the following steps:
- Stay hydrated by drinking water every 20 minutes.
- Schedule more strenuous work in the cooler parts of the day, such as the morning.
- If your building does not have air conditioning, 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.
