Nawodnienie organizmu w miejscu pracy w mikroklimacie gorącym
Hydration of the human body in the workplace, in a hot microclimate

Summary/Abstract: Water (except for oxygen) is sometimes said to be the most important component absorbed by humans from the environment. It’s been widely known for a long time that a deficiency of fluids, leading to disturbances in the functioning of the body and, ultimately, to death, is felt much faster than the total lack of access to food. Providing adequate hydration for employees is one of the most effective interventions to protect their health and performance while they work in hot environments. These workers should often drink small amounts of chilled (10-15 oC) water before feeling thirsty. To effectively prevent dehydration at work, the employee should be properly hydrated beforehand, he should follow with drinking small portions of fluid in the beginning of her/his shift, and compensate for any deficiency of fluid after work.
