ALT Prevent Heat Illness at Work. Ease into Work. Nearly 3 out of 4 fatalities from heat illness happen during the first week of work. Build a tolerance to heat by increasing intensity by 20% each day. Drink cool water even if you are not thirsty. Rest for long enough to recover from the heat. Take breaks in a shady or cool area. Wear a hat and dress for the heat. Watch out for each other. Verbally check on workers wearing face coverings.
