Learn the difference in [heat exhaustion vs heat stroke](https://jmarsolutions.multisites.ai/guides/heat-exhaustion-vs-heat-stroke). ## What are JMAR’s three steps for early signs? For early signs such as weakness, dizziness or cramps, JMAR’s protocol has three steps. Use them alongside your site’s own heat plan and emergency procedures. Call 911 if a worker gets worse. 1. **Replace lost electrolytes.** Take a concentrated shot. Use the label: _Emergency support: Add 1 tsp to a few ounces of any liquid._ 2. **Follow with fluids and rest.** JMAR says to rest for 10 to 15 minutes while adhering to OSHA heat stress guidelines. _Follow with additional fluids._ 3. **Monitor for results.** _Repeat as needed_, per the label, if the worker still feels depleted. JMAR also suggests daily use in any liquid for ongoing hydration. ## Why does JMAR keep drops close to the crew? When a worker shows weakness, confusion, dizziness or cramps, every minute counts. JMAR says plain water or waiting on a sports drink can be too slow, and that the drops give a quick [electrolyte](https://jmarsolutions.multisites.ai/glossary/electrolyte) replacement. Stage the drops in trucks, tool bags and first aid kits so a supervisor can act at once. JMAR says the drops help the body absorb fluids and help reduce muscle cramps, headaches and fatigue. They do not treat heat stroke. See [heat illness](https://jmarsolutions.multisites.ai/heat-illness) for signs and responses. ## When do minutes matter most? JMAR lists these situations: extreme fatigue, severe dehydration, heat-related emergencies and critical response needs. In each one, start with your site’s emergency plan and 911 if needed.
