Take care in the Heatwave • Caremark

As England have been issued a weather warning for the heat this week, we would like to take this opportunity to remind our Support Workers and our Client’s to stay safe in the community this week..

Everyone should take steps to remain safe in the hot weather to prevent any weather related illnesses. Here are a few safety tips…

Drink plenty of fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty. Ensure Client’s are staying hydrated too.
Stay in an air-conditioned indoor location as much as you can.
Schedule outdoor activities carefully. Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
Pace yourself when doing any outdoor activities
If you do need to go outdoors, stay in the shade where possible, wear sun-screen factor 15 or above and wear shades and a hat if you can.
Never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants and young children.
