This weekend is set to be the hottest all year, with temperatures around the UK to be estimated between 25-30C. While this is excellent news for those looking for a quick weekend beach holiday when it comes back to work, warm weather brings dehydration.

 

Dehydration in the workplace

don't stay dehydrated

Managing workplace temperature is a day-to-day task for business owners. The Health and Safety Executive advise that you should handle the “thermal comfort” of your employees. Thermal comfort relates to whether or not they feel too hot or too cold.

Drinking water at work is more important than you might think. Dehydration in the workplace can be a real health hazard. The early signs are relatively noticeable with warning signs including lightheadedness and tiredness.  This can play havoc in the workplace; even a 1% drop in hydration could lead to a 12% drop in productivity.

Not only will this affect the flow of your day-to-day runnings, but dehydration also affects people psychologically. With several studies finding peoples moods change negatively and interfere with rational decision making. No matter the business you’re in, keeping employees well hydrated is a must for success.

 

Hydration in the workplace

 You can help prevent dehydration in the workplace by applying the following steps:

  • Providing ceiling-mounted fans / allowing employees to use desktop fans.
  • Opening the windows
  • Utilising an air conditioning system
  • Pulling down blinds to reduce the harsh sunlight rays reflecting on your staff

While these are ways to help reduce your staff suffering from higher temperatures, the best way to promote hydration is by providing cold water facilities.
