A Heat Advisory is in effect across parts of Michigan, with heat index values expected to reach 90–100°F.

When temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat-related illness. Heat exhaustion can quickly become heat stroke if not recognized and treated.

Employers should take steps to protect workers:

💧 Providing cool drinking water
🌳 Allowing rest breaks in shaded or cool areas
📅 Adjusting work schedules when possible
👷 Acclimating new and returning workers to hot conditions

Don't wait until someone shows signs of heat illness. Plan ahead and protect your workforce.
