Provide free water and cooling stations

← Back to Cool Tips Pro Employee Wellbeing

Making cold water freely available and setting up fans or misting stations in warm areas are low-cost measures that are quick to roll out and make a real difference day to day.

Dehydration sharply worsens the effects of heat — fatigue, headaches, reduced concentration. Making cold water easy to access encourages regular hydration, while fans and misting stations speed up sweat evaporation for immediate cooling relief.

• Reduces the risk of dehydration and heat stroke
• Improves everyday comfort and morale
• Quick to set up, no major construction needed
• Very low cost compared to other solutions

1. Install water fountains or reusable bottle refill stations in several locations
2. Identify the hottest spots (near windows, machinery, kitchens) for fans or misting units
3. Communicate the importance of hydrating regularly, not just when thirsty
4. Set up a shaded cooling spot for breaks
