🔥 Heat-related illness can develop quickly and become serious if not recognised early.

Stay Safe by Following These Simple Steps:

Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks as they can contribute to dehydration.

👕 Dress Appropriately

Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.

Choose light-coloured clothing and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.

🧴 Protect Your Skin

Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen regularly.

Seek shade whenever possible.

🚶 Limit Strenuous Activity

Avoid heavy exercise during peak temperatures.

If you must work outdoors, take frequent breaks and stay hydrated.

👶👵 Check on Vulnerable People

Older adults

Young children and infants

People with chronic illnesses

Those living alone

🚗 Never Leave Anyone in a Parked Vehicle

Temperatures inside a vehicle can become life-threatening within minutes.

Know the Signs of Heat Exhaustion:

⚠️ Excessive sweating
⚠️ Dizziness or fainting
⚠️ Headache
⚠️ Nausea or vomiting
⚠️ Muscle cramps

If symptoms worsen, or if someone becomes confused, stops sweating, or loses consciousness, call emergency services immediately.
