The safety and well-being of all Newport News shipbuilders is our priority. With that in mind, please review next week’s weather forecast and hot weather safety tips below. We will share this information – which can help you plan for the upcoming week – every Friday through the end of August.

Visit the Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) homepage on MyNNS to check daily flag conditions, which are posted on the right side of the page. Red flag conditions indicate a heat index between 91 and 104 degrees. Black flag conditions indicate a heat index of 105 degrees or higher.

Please take extra precautions to prevent heat illness next week. Hampton Roads is expecting temperatures between 90 and 100, with projected heat indexes up to 105.

This Week’s Heat Illness Prevention Tips:

• Try to perform more intensive work during the coolest time of the shift.
• Pace yourself and take breaks as needed to cool off.
