Symptoms of heat exhaustion include headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, upset stomach, moist skin, and weakness. Symptoms of heat stroke include mental confusion and dry, hot skin with no sweating.

Prevent heat-related illness by knowing the signs and symptoms. Monitor your staff and clients. Drink plenty of water. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothes. And avoid prolonged exposure to direct sun.
