FAQ
Are you staying properly hydrated?
Dehydration slows your reaction time in the same way as impairment. A 3% dehydration has the same effect on a person's reflexes as a .08 blood alcohol content, making errors in judgment and reaction time significant more likely.
NASA's dehydration response determines that an employee that usually works at 80-degrees F, if exposed to temperatures of 90-degrees F, will make 12 times more errors compared to the work performance at the temperature they were accustomed to, and many of these errors translate to an increase in injury rate.
