NIEHS Oil Spill Cleanup Training Tool <br />OSHA <br />Fluid Intake <br />• Drink plenty of cool water — drink before you are thirsty. Sports drinks are <br />ok, but not necessary. <br />• Drink small amounts often — a 6-ounce cup every 20 minutes, more <br />depending on work load and heat. <br />• BUT - don't drink more than a quart (32 ounces) in an hour (you can also get <br />sick from too much water). In general, don't drink more than 12 quarts a day. <br />• Eat a normal diet. Frequent small meals are best. Sports drinks contain salts <br />(which you lose as you sweat), so if you're not able to eat regularly, they are <br />a good alternative. <br />• Avoid alcohol or caffeinated drinks. <br />30 WORKER EDUCATION & TRAINING PROGRAM <br />
