Take time to acclimatize: Work shorter shifts until your body has adjusted to the heat.

Stay well hydrated: Drink often enough that you do not feel thirsty.

Watch for signs of heat-related illnesses: Designate a buddy and ask how they feel periodically.

Take time to rest and cool down: Sit somewhere cool, rest, and rehydrate frequently.
