Summer Heat Stroke - tips for staying safe in the sun.

From the National Safety Council:

• Wide-brimmed hats keep your face and head from getting burned. Sun exposure can be damaging and this will provide added protection. Baseball caps only protect the face and don't offer much protection. Choose a hat that will protect the neck, face and ears.
• Wear loose fitting, long-sleeved shirts. Choose light colored clothing. Remember not to wear loose fitting clothing when working around machinery.
• Avoid dehidration. Carry water with you. Take drinks frequently—every 15 minutes.
• Take frequent breaks. Find a shady or cool spot during the hottest times of the day.
• Don't do it all at once. Allow your body to adjust gradually to working in hot weather over a period of 10-20 days.
• Someone suffering from heat exhaustion or heat stroke should be moved to a cool environment, offered sips of water, if conscious, and provided with attention from emergency medical personnel.
• Wear sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 15. Make sure children are also adequately protected.
