Beating the Heat, the Right Way

Contributed by: Jason Tibbrine

With summer temps rising, Raleigh Water crews are staying safe and cool, just like in this photo, where one of our teams takes a quick shade - and - popsicle break during a hot day on the job.

But this isn ’ t just a break, it ’ s an example of how to stay cool on a hot day.

✅ Hydration ✅ Rest ✅ Shade

Raleigh Water crews follow the Heat Illness Mitigation from OSHA; Water, Rest, and Shade during extreme temperature days.

That also means looking out for each other and watching for the signs of heat illness while keeping the work moving.

Stay cool. Stay safe. And yes, enjoy the popsicles!
