Cool Heat - Heat and Hydration

Heat and Hydration The Australian climate is characterised by high temperatures, low rainfall and extreme climatic conditions. The health risks associated with heat related conditions include heat stroke, cramp, heat exhaustion and, at worst, death.

Strategies to improve staff hydration levels, including a comprehensive Working in Heat policy, are proven to be instrumental in reducing heat illness. 1.    Initial Health Assessment •    Dietary analysis •    Risk profiling including Hydration Specific Gravity Analysis (Refactrometer) •    Skin Screening is an optional extra 2.    Training & Intervention •    Energise Your Day Program (can include lunchtime Yoga or Pilates) •    Stretch & relax sessions •    Workshops are available to up-skill supervisors in heat and hydration management 3.    Re-assessment & Reporting •    Repeat of initial Health Assessments •    Reporting on results using Health Risk Assessment (HRA) program •    Company profile presented to the company 4.    Consultation •    One on one or group sessions and review of assessment results •    Risk profile review Kinetic Competencies: •    Health Promotion Seminar Series •    Urine Analysis (Refractometer) Optional Service: •    First Aid & CPR Training •    Skin Cancer Screens For more information on these services please Contact the Kinetic Health team.
