The Company provides fresh, pure, and suitably cool drinking water at no charge throughout the day. Water will be located as close as possible to work and cool-down areas. When the work environment is hot, you are encouraged to frequently drink small cups of water, with up to four cups (one quart or more) per hour recommended, to stay hydrated. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. The Company will use control measures to minimize the risk of heat illness. The Company has in place effective emergency response procedures if you show signs or report symptoms of heat illness while taking a preventative cool-down rest period. You must immediately report to your manager if you experience any symptoms or signs of heat illness or see signs of heat illness in co-workers so that the Company can respond with medical attention, as appropriate. The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against employees who take preventative cool-down rest periods in accordance with this policy.
