Increasing temperatures increase the danger of heat related injury & illness. When summer heat waves hit, there are a few tips Property Managers and their employees can practice to help avoid heat related illness and injuries.
- Block the sun – encouraging your employees to close their curtains and blinds can reduce the amount of heat that passes into your home or office by as much as 45%, according to the US Department of Energy.
- Eat Light – Try eating a salad for lunch rather than the greasy, fatty hamburger. Salads are light and easier to digest while hamburgers leave you feeling sluggish. Eating fruits and vegetables keep you hydrated and cooler in the high summer heat.
- Let your computer take a Nap – Set it to go into low-power “sleep” mode if you are away from it for longer than 10 minutes. This will prevent it from giving off more heat.
