In 2015 According To The US Department Of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics
Exposure to environmental heat led to 37 work-related deaths and 2,830 nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses involving days away from work in 2015.

Workers
Landscaping and Construction are the most common we see around us everyday.  No one really thinks about the workers in steel mills or brick firing ceramic plants.  The important thing is to remember to stay hydrated and take a break.  You will finish your project a lot faster if your head is clear and your body feels strong.

Leisure
Whether your at a baseball game or on the golf course staying hydrated is key.  Pounding a bunch of beers sitting at the ball park or playing golf in the heat is an absolute no no.  Caffeine from certain types of drinks can also dehydrate you.  The best thing you can do is drink plenty of water.

July is National Fireworks Safety Month

This is the time of year we love our fireworks.  I don't know anyone who returns to work after a Fourth Of July holiday and everyone is talking about how I thought the neighborhood was going to blow up.  It was so loud.

Why is that a problem?  Individuals in the neighborhood are handling fireworks with really no experience and little regard for safety.  It is the old adage it won't happen to me.  Well visit your local emergency room over the holiday and see how busy it is.

The practice with fireworks is leave it to the professionals and enjoy the holiday.

National Fireworks Safety Month is sponsored by Prevent Blindness America

It is important to remind everyone to protect their vision.
