Here are some essential tips to stay safe: 1. Wear Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re sweating heavily. 2. Take Breaks in the Shade: During peak sunlight hours (10 AM - 4 PM), take breaks in shaded areas to give your skin a rest from direct sun exposure. 3. Wear Protective Clothing: Long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses can help shield your skin and eyes from UV rays. 4. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated. 5. Use Cooling Gear: Consider wearing cooling towels or vests to help manage your body temperature. 6. Monitor the UV Index: Check the daily UV index to understand your risk level and plan accordingly. 7. Be Mindful of Heat Illness: Know the signs of heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Seek shade and hydrate if you feel dizzy, nauseous, or weak. Stay safe and protected while working outdoors! 🧴👒🕶️ #SunSafety #SafetyFirst #HeatProtection
