Recognize the Signs. Act Fast. Save a Life.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency that can happen quickly—especially during hot summer days or while working outdoors.

⚠️ Watch for these warning signs:
• High body temperature
• Confusion or disorientation
• Hot, red, dry skin
• Rapid pulse
• Severe headache or dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting

If you suspect someone is experiencing heat stroke:
- Call 911 immediately.
- Move them to a cool, shaded area and begin cooling them with cool water or ice while waiting for emergency responders.

At Worker Care, we're committed to helping employers and employees stay safe through heat illness prevention and prompt treatment of non-emergency work injuries and illnesses.

Prevention is always the best protection.
Stay hydrated. Take breaks. Know the signs.
