- For many people, summertime at Princeton means warm, comfortable days, perfect for eating outside or long walks during breaks from air-conditioned offices. But for some of us, summertime means special projects working outside in the direct sunlight or renovating buildings with no cooling systems. Working in hot conditions may pose special hazards to safety and health. This heat stress fact sheet provides an overview of the variety of illnesses and injuries associated with heat stress and gives guidance on how to recognize and prevent them.

Lightning is the second leading cause of direct weather deaths in the U.S., after floods, and results in more fatalities each year that tornadoes and hurricanes combined. Given the random nature of lightning strikes, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed to any individual or group. Individuals are ultimately responsible for their personal safety and should take appropriate action when threatened by lightning. Adults must take responsibility for the safety of children in their care during thunderstorm activities. However, awareness of certain lightning safety guidelines can greatly reduce the risk of injury or death.
- Safety recalls and alerts. New web page with various resources that provide information and links for many of these recalls and the agencies that issue them.
