[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 986808, member: 29929"] The advice on drinking plenty of water is good, but you also need to keep your electrolyte balance. Did you check out the thread called called "water and fruit." I feel like I have a way of butting heads with both the political left and the right. Anyway, giving and getting advice is what people are here for, but I believe it is the employee's and not the company's responsibility to be ready for physical work in a hot environment. If UPS provides some refreshments, that's a nice gesture, but people need to make sure they prepare as well, and I see many people not preparing. What you eat and drink well before work is important as well as what you have during the shift. People also need to be smart about what they wear. It's been hot lately where I live, and I can't believe I still see some guys wearing jeans to work. Around here it seems like nobody cares if you wear a tank top working inside and many people do. Also, I believe a short hair cut helps keep you cooler. This whole topic has come up before so anyone wanting more advice can look up old threads, and I'll bet someone will have something to add to what i just wrote. Stay safe and healthy, recognize your limitations, know you'll never do enough for some people in this world, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
