{"Image DocumentName": "Proper hydration is key to preventing heat illness", "Image ImageDescription": "DO. Drink plenty of water. Start work well hydrated. Consider sports drinks for electrolyte replacement when sweating a lot. AVOID. Drinking pop and other sugary drinks. Drinking lots of coffee and tea. Drinking alcohol. Waiting for thirst before drinking water. By hydration we mean drinking enough water. If you become dehydrated, heat illness can occur. The most effective way for preventing heat stress is to steadily replenish the water that the body loses as sweat. Drinking a large amount of water all at once after sweating heavily for a long time is not as effective and can even be dangerous. About 1 quart every hour. Cool liquids are better than ice cold. Supply adequate water and encourage employees to drink regularly. Workers in restricted environments (sewers, etc.) should drink before entry and at regular intervals.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
