“I’LL JUST WALK IT OFF.” 😅

Famous last words.

We get it. Nobody wants to be that person who says, “I think I hurt myself.”

But if that little twinge has turned into “ow,” “ouch,” or “I probably shouldn’t move that,” it may be time to get it checked out.

🚩 Pain that’s getting worse
🚩 Swelling or limited movement
🚩 Numbness or tingling
🚩 An injury that’s making it harder to do your job

Your body is pretty good at sending notifications.
Ignoring them doesn’t make them go away.

When a work injury happens, getting the right care early can help employees understand what’s going on and what to do next. We are here for you!

HEALTH FACT: Smoke Can Follow You Indoors
Wildfire smoke doesn’t have to be visible inside a workplace to affect the air workers breathe.

- Fine particles from smoke can enter buildings through doors, ventilation systems, gaps, and other openings. Even when the air looks clear, tiny particles can remain suspended indoors.

- Why workers should care: Fine particulate matter can reach deep into the lungs and can contribute to coughing, throat irritation, headaches, shortness of breath, and reduced lung function—especially during prolonged exposure.

- Worker Care Tip: During smoky conditions, don’t rely on what you can see. Check local air-quality conditions, minimize unnecessary outdoor exposure, keep doors closed when appropriate, and make sure your workplace’s ventilation and filtration systems are operating properly.

- Worker Care Support: If you feel like smoke exposure is affecting your health—even if it’s not an emergency room situation—Worker Care can help. We offer Telehealth services where you can speak with a clinician, get guidance on symptoms, understand when to seek medical attention, and be connected to appropriate care and workplace support resources.

- Telehealth Services: Access care quickly from anywhere. Through Worker Care Telehealth, you can connect with a healthcare professional without needing to visit a clinic in person.

Clear air ≠ clean air.

Recognize the Signs. Act Fast. Save a Life.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency that can happen quickly—especially during hot summer days or while working outdoors.

⚠️ Watch for these warning signs:
• High body temperature
• Confusion or disorientation
• Hot, red, dry skin
• Rapid pulse
• Severe headache or dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting

If you suspect someone is experiencing heat stroke:
- Call 911 immediately.
- Move them to a cool, shaded area and begin cooling them with cool water or ice while waiting for emergency responders.

At Worker Care, we're committed to helping employers and employees stay safe through heat illness prevention and prompt treatment of non-emergency work injuries and illnesses.

Prevention is always the best protection.
Stay hydrated. Take breaks. Know the signs.

☀️ Summer Safety Starts Before the Heat Hits!

Did you know dehydration can begin before you even feel thirsty? For employees working outdoors or in hot environments, staying hydrated and taking regular breaks can help prevent heat-related illnesses.

✅ Drink water throughout the day—not just when you're thirsty.
✅ Take breaks in shaded or cool areas.
✅ Know the signs of heat exhaustion: dizziness, heavy sweating, headache, nausea, and fatigue.

At Worker Care, we're here to help keep your workforce healthy, safe, and ready for the job.

When you work outdoors, the sun isn't just part of the job—it's a workplace hazard.

Whether you're in agriculture, construction, landscaping, utilities, or any outdoor profession, prolonged exposure to heat and ultraviolet (UV) rays can put your health at risk.

🌡️ Heat illness can happen quickly.
☀️ UV damage builds over time.

Help protect yourself and your crew by remembering these simple steps:

- Stay hydrated throughout the day—not just when you're thirsty.
- Take breaks in the shade or a cool area.
- Wear sun-protective clothing, a hat, UV-blocking sunglasses, and sunscreen.
- Watch for signs of heat illness, including dizziness, headache, muscle cramps, nausea, or confusion.

A few minutes of prevention today can help prevent serious injuries tomorrow.

At Worker Care, we're committed to helping employers and employees stay healthy, safe, and productive all summer long.
Protect your crew. Plan ahead. Work smart. Stay safe.
