- **Follow safe grilling practices:** Be cautious when using grills and ensure they are in safe locations away from flammable materials.

- **Stay hydrated and drink water:** It’s essential to drink enough water, especially in warm weather, to prevent dehydration.

- **Avoid sun poisoning:** Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing to shield yourself from the sun’s harmful rays.

- **Practice food safety:** Keep perishable foods at safe temperatures and wash hands to prevent foodborne illnesses.
