Without safety awareness, hydration is often forgotten about; many people don’t even realize that they need water until it is too late. The use of safety banners and safety posters are a great visual reminder to keep you thinking of hydration when it absolutely matters. When working we often pay attention to the task at hand forgetting to keep important issues like staying hydrated and staying cool at the forefront of our thoughts. Putting a safety banner or safety poster someplace significant, so everyone can see the safety message and be totally aware of heat stress and hydration concerns brings the awareness up, leaving less opportunity for injury or illness. If there is a water cooler or a hydration station present, have it well marked and easy to read. These stations are a great place to display a safety banner or safety poster with a safety message about hydration. A recommendation from the CDC: hydrate before work drink a minimum of 8 ounces of water three to four times an hour, but no more than 48 ounces per hour (over hydration can drop your sodium to a dangerously low level). Hydrating is more effective in small, frequent amounts rather than large amounts over long time gaps. Continue to drink water after you have finished work, rehydration may take hours after you have finished.

Safety Banners: Inspirational Safety Posters & Banners to Motivate Your Employees & Express the Safety Values of Your Company
You’re most likely familiar with safety slogan signs, like safety banners that remind your employees to use their PPE or safety posters warning employees of potential dangers, and even safety wall stickers that provide valuable information like where the eyewash station or fire extinguishers are located. Safety signs are important and should be a top priority when setting up any new workplace. However, while that type of safety signage may be providing the obligatory “you must do this” message, the right safety poster or safety banner can provide a more encouraging message for employees by saying “here’s why safety is important.”
