Water and Hydration Regimes in the Workplace

For human life, water, alongside air, plays one of the most crucial roles in maintaining life and health. The human body is composed of over 70% water. A loss of more than 10% leads to irreversible consequences.

Remember, water in human life:

• regulates body temperature;
• ensures the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to all body cells;
• protects vital organs;
• moisturizes the air we breathe.

The hydration regime in the workplace is one of the most important factors

A proper hydration regime helps prevent dehydration, increase productivity, and reduce the risk of occupational diseases.

For a rational hydration regime for workers in hot shops, it is necessary to provide:

• carbonated mineral water;
• carbonated saline solutions.

The advantage of consuming them lies in replenishing salt loss and reducing sweating.

To provide for the workers of PJSC MMK shops with harsh working conditions, a balanced composition of mineralized salted water was developed in collaboration with the medical unit.

In addition, departments are supplied with purified bottled water for dispensers and carbonated bottled water.

For CONVENIENCE OF USE, water is supplied in 0.5 and 1.5-liter containers.

It is important to remember that in high-temperature conditions, drinking only fresh water can lead to overheating, as fresh water does not fully restore the body's water balance; a rational hydration regime is required for this.

REMEMBER that it is much easier to prevent something than to deal with the consequences later. Dehydration prevention does not require extra effort. Take care of your health.
