Going into these hot summer months, it is very important to know the effects the heat can have on your body, especially when combined with physical labor.
Taking precautions to prevent and recognize heat illness is crucial to ensuring you do not fall victim to any form.
Tips to Avoid Heat Illness
- Wear loose, light colored clothing
- Take short breaks, preferably in the shade
- Avoid overexerting yourself during peak temperatures
- Drink lots of fluids throughout the day
Recognize Symptoms
- Heat cramps – severe muscle spasms in the back, stomach, arms & legs
- Heat exhaustion – heavy sweating, nausea, headache, weakness
- Heat stroke – high body temperature, sweating stops, rapid breathing
Providing Treatment
- Heat cramps – move to a cooler area and drink water (6 oz. every 15 minutes)
- Heat exhaustion – move to cooler area, lay down and keep legs elevated, use fan or apply cool towels to body, if conscious, drink water (6 oz. every 15 minutes)
- Heat stroke – call an ambulance immediately, move to cooler area and apply cool towels to body, do not consume any liquids. Heat stroke is life-threatening so it is important to act quickly!
Also remember the risk of these illnesses can increase with other factors such as age, weight or liquid intake. Check the forecast to make sure you are adequately prepared with the correct clothing and beverages.

After this past winter of frigid temperatures, New Jersey condominium and townhome owners had hundreds of water pipe breaks which led to hundreds of thousands of dollars in remediation costs. Developing a plan to identify and winterize vacant or abandoned units is important to minimizing losses.
Utilize your newsletters and/or association meetings to encourage residents to alert you to these types of units. In the end, the cost and efforts to gain entry to winterize vacant or abandoned units will be much less than the costs of paying insurance deductibles, having increased claim frequency and potential increases in insurance premiums.
Planning on getting any condominium carpentry projects started this season? Perhaps a balcony replacement project like the one we completed here? Rezkom has a team of highly skilled craftsmen who are professionally trained and equipped to handle all of your buildings’ carpentry needs.
