Employers are starting to take an active part in making sure workers are properly hydrated so they can communicate effectively to customers and co-workers.
Even mild dehydration (loss of 1% total body weight) can cause workers productivity to fall by 12%
Being 2% dehydrated or more can cause visual motor tracking issues, short-term memory loss, attention problems and heart efficiency to become impaired.
In 2014, according to OSHA, over 2,630 people suffered from heat illness and 18 people died from heat stroke.
