The National Weather Service encourages the public to stay vigilant during heat waves by checking on friends and family, wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding unnecessary outdoor work or activities and trying to remain in an air conditioned structure if possible.

The Occupational Safety and Health Organization (OSHA) warns those working during dangerously high temperatures to stay aware of their working conditions and drink plenty of water.

Those working indoors around heat-producing equipment — such as ceramic plants, glass product facilities or any factory with a boiler room — are susceptible to heat-related illnesses, according to OSHA.

The best way to combat heat-related illness is to take preemptive measures like staying hydrated, and covering exposed skin with loose, light clothing, according to officials.
