Drink water to stay healthy

Throughout February Winslow’s HSE team hasbeen handing out water bottles to field staff across the Group to encourage everyone to remain hydrated while working, especially on hot days.

One of the common effects of working in heat is the risk of dehydration.

Toolboxes have been held to highlight the importance of drinking fluids to avoid dehydration. Men and women need between two and 2.5 litres of fluids daily to maintain hydration.

Our new Am I drinking enough water? posters are also now on sites to provide some easy markers to keep people on track with adequate hydration with a link to some self-directed learning if people want to find out more.
