| Safety Share: Stay Hydrated While in AZ |
|
While attending the MineXchange 2020 SME Annual Conference & Expo, remember that Phoenix, AZ, is a dry climate. It is important to stay hydrated. Some say to drink half your body weight in fluids; others recommend eight glasses of water a day. Whatever the amount, just make sure you’re drinking enough for you. And avoid the flu and colds by washing your hands frequently and using hand sanitizers.
