Speak Up at the First Symptom... Dizziness, headache, confusion and nausea are not “push through it” moments. They’re indicators of more severe illness to follow. Here are heat stress warning signs to watch for, from Stevens-Leinweber Construction, Inc. and our trusted safety consultant, Premier Risk Management:
• Heat-related illness often begins with muscle cramps and visible face reddening. Watch for these in yourself and your coworkers, and seek medical assistance when needed.
• Symptoms can advance from here, from a rapid pulse and heavy sweating to weakness, dizziness, irritability and nausea or vomiting.
• If not treated, heat illness can progress to heat stroke, marked by high body temperature, confusion, loss of coordination and even seizure or unconsciousness.
If you feel it, say it, and if you see something, say something!
