While some have the benefit of working in the air conditioning, others are stuck out in the heat. With temperatures climbing into the 90s this week, combined with high humidity, the work can easily become dangerous.


"OSHA has a campaign that is 'water, rest and shade' -- three simple words that everyone can understand," said Occupational Safety and Health Administration Columbus Area Director Deborah Zubaty.


Three simple words and three simple actions that can help prevent heat-related injuries -- something more common than a person might think.


"In 2010, over 40 workers died of heat exposure. [There were] 4,100 workers nationwide injured from heat exposure, so this is the second year that we've really been rolling out the heat campaign," said Zubaty.


Zubaty said it's all about education, prevention and catching the symptoms-- fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, profuse sweating and/or rapid heartbeat.


"We're trying to get out the word that if you have some of these symptoms, get with your employer. If not, call OSHA, and we can help you."


From first responders to landscapers to construction workers, for any job that has workers outside, taking a break is key.


"If they get overheated or they start sweating too much, take a 5 minute break, get water. We don't [want] anybody collapsing out here," said construction worker Matt Rudy.


And OSHA understands that a lot of people are on the go, which is why they even have an app for smartphones to help calculate the heat index for wherever the user is.
