Safety Supply

Electrolytes flow through muscle cells to keep them functioning normally. Perspiration depletes the fluids in cells and weakens muscle tissue. It has been proven that water alone cannot sufficiently replace electrolytes to prevent heat exhaustion, heat illness, or heat stroke. Electrolytes can be simple salts of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium as well as complex organic molecules. Without adequate electrolytes, workers may become dehydrated, which can lead low productivity and ultimately serious injury.

Sports Drinks and other electrolyte replacement products are absorbed by the body almost twice as quickly as plain water. Most have less sodium and  more potassium than earlier sports drinks. Sports drinks come in several flavors to choose from and most have pleasing taste.  Pleasing taste assures acceptance by workers and reduces heat stress and dehydration concerns.

Choose from several great tasting flavors in fast packs, powder packs, and liquid concentrate. Also available are a variety of ready to drink containers for fast fluid replacement. You should consider one gallon, three gallon, or five and a half gallon coolers to maintain your supply of fluid replacement. A truck cooler rack is available for the two larger-sized coolers. Dehydration management must be a part of any industrial or academic first aid plan. Consider Dan-Marc for a great tasting beverage and the needed supplies to help with your electrolyte replacement plan and heat stress management.
