As you undoubtedly know, high temperatures are forecasted for today in the Bay Area.

Staying hydrated is particularly important during a heat wave. Drink plenty of water during the day, and look out for each other by encouraging your colleagues to drink extra water, too. Wearing cotton clothing can also increase your comfort during excessive heat.

Because of these conditions, managers should encourage precautionary measures and have discussions with employees.

Managers are responsible to ensure workplace safety as well as to meet our community’s diverse operational needs, so having discussions with your staff about alternatives, such as working from a cooler location nearby, telecommuting, flexible work schedules, or, if necessary, other options is appropriate during times of excessive heat.

Employees with certain medical conditions should check with their personal physician to get a recommendation related to working during a heat wave. Staff who are unable to work would use accrued paid time off to continue to be paid.
