KEEP COOL THIS SUMMER
Working out in the field can by physically and mentallychallenging. Climbing a tower, lifting machinery andequipment, and twisting your body into acrobatic positions toreach a mount can take their toll on your body. Throw in afierce sun and dry air (or, for us Floridians, unforgivinghumidity), and dehydration is imminent. Here are a few tipsfrom the CIW family on staying cool, lobster tanfree, andhydrated:
1. TAKE WATER BREAKSTaking frequent water breaks isimportant for staying hydrated at work.Drinking water can actually help yourbody increase muscle efficiency,maintain temperature equilibrium, andeven help lower your blood pressure!
2. ON THE JOB COOLING Water breaks are cool, but what about while you're on the job?Enter the Erogydne ChillIts cooling hat. Activated in minutesby soaking in cold water, their polymers stay cool for hours,even on the hottest summer days. Place them on large arteriesto cool your blood, such as your forehead, armpits, elbows, or
wrists.

3. TAKE THE SHADE WITH YOUWhen it comes to sun protection, helmets don't always cut it.The back of your next and shoulders tend to take the brunt ofthe sun's fierce rays. Try Ergodyne's ChillIts NeckShades that drape the entire back of the neck. Lightweight,cooling acrylic polymers mean after a 25 minute soak, itremains hydrated for up to 4 hours. Ergodyne's™ hard hatbrim with a shade is designed for workers who slow roast inthe sun like a turkey on Thanksgiving. It fits around the outsideof a hard hat, providing sun/UV protection from the face andneck. In a nutshell, don't forget to drink plenty of water when you'reworking out in the field. If you're not, to put it delicately,relieving yourself at least once every two three hours, you'reprobably not drinking enough. Stay safe out there!
