With the advent of summer and heat comes the renewed emphasis on hydration and heat stress. The past couple of years has seen a strong push to decrease dehydration and heat stress related health problems. The problem with heat stress and dehydration is often related to the fact that we don't realize how dehydrated we really are. One of the easiest ways to tell is still by checking the color of your urine. The darker it is in color the more you are dehydrated.
Sqwincher, has long been in the forefront of the battle against dehydration with a full-line of rehydration products. They've come up with a new poster that you can post on your job site (or in the bathroom or porta-John) that provides a color gradation to check the color of your urine against to show how dehydrated you really are.
The old adage about leading a horse to water might be true but if you can get the horse to realize that he really is thirsty and in need of water you won't have to force him to drink, he'll drink on his own. As an employee you can't force your workers to drink and stay hydrated but simply showing them how dehydrated might be should do the trick.
