Please read our guide below to ensure you are keeping yourself and our customers safe during summer:
- Check the weather forecast so you know when the weather will be hot.
- Drink lots of water and fluids.
- Use a fan or air-conditioner (set to ‘cool’).
- Cool down with a shower or bath.
- Avoid going outside when it is very hot.
- If you go outside, make sure you and the person you are working with wear loose fitting, light coloured clothing.
- Wear a hat and sunscreen (SPF30+). Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.
- Keep curtains, blinds and windows closed during the day to keep your home cool.
- Open windows at night to let cool air in (if it is safe).
- Check on family, friends of the person you are working with.
- Never leave customers in a parked car.
- Avoid taking babies, young children or anyone with a medical condition outside when it is very hot.
- If you or your customer feels unwell, please seek medication attention.
- When organising activities, make sure they are indoors wherever possible and sun safe.
- Check venues have air conditioning.
Please ensure customers are aware of exposure to these conditions.
Keep in mind the guidelines above and ensure that they are supported to stay in air conditioned spaces, drinking plenty of fluids and are always feeling comfortable.
