SUMMER DOESN’T officially start until June 20, but if last summer is any indication, the oppressive – and dangerous – heat is already upon us in North Texas.

As you can see on the previous page, CoServ takes safety seriously as our Employees work to provide Members and Customers with excellent service.

Here’s some helpful information on how to stay safe during Texas’ grueling heat, with preventative measures and what to do if someone has a heat-related illness.

How to stay safe:

  • Drink plenty of water and electrolytes.
  • Take frequent breaks in the shade.
  • Be aware of the heat index, also known as the “feels like” temperature which factors in humidity and the temperature.
