With the hot and humid weather conditions experienced during September, all members of the FCCU community are advised to take additional precautions while working, studying, travelling, or participating in outdoor activities on campus.
Please take the following precautions:
1. Stay hydrated: Drink water regularly throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty.
2. Limit prolonged outdoor exposure: Avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day where possible.
3. Take breaks: If you are working or spending extended periods outdoors, take regular breaks in a shaded or cool area.
4. Dress appropriately: Wear light, loose-fitting and breathable clothing where practical. Avoid wearing synthetics.
5. Use shade: Make use of shaded walkways, covered areas and indoor spaces whenever possible.
6. Avoid excessive physical exertion: Particularly during peak heat and humidity.
7. Look out for one another: Faculty, staff and students should remain attentive to anyone showing signs of heat-related discomfort.
8. Stay alert to symptoms: Headache, dizziness, unusual weakness, nausea, excessive sweating or feeling faint can be warning signs of heat stress. Move to a cool/shaded place, rest and seek assistance if symptoms occur.
