[Safe Work Australia](https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-10/Guide%20for%20managing%20the%20risks%20of%20working%20in%20heat.pdf) says working in heat can it make it harder for workers to concentrate. Workers can become confused, and are more likely to make mistakes. The physical effects of heat-related illness can be severe. Heat stress can leave workers feeling thirsty, tired and sweaty. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, headache, nausea and feeling weak. According to the Australian Government’s healthdirect [website](https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/heatstroke), heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness, where temperature spikes, and the body can no longer cool itself. Heat stroke can lead to confusion, seizures and loss of consciousness. It can potentially be fatal. It costs less to prevent a heat related accident or illness than it does to recover from one. ### **Heat management for every worker.** For a quarter of a century, Pryme has delivered industry leading solutions to help protect the workforce from the effects of the harsh Australian climate. From helping keep workers hydrated to protecting them from the sun, Pryme’s products can form an essential part of heat management plans on worksites. - [The Sqwincher range](https://www.blackwoods.com.au/searchpage#q=sqwincher)is designed to prevent dehydration.
