Heat Stress Prevention

Heat illness can progress from cramps to life-threatening heat stroke faster than most workers realize. This course explains how the body reacts to heat, the signs of heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, and the workplace conditions and personal factors that raise the risk. Learners also cover OSHA’s authority to address heat hazards and prevention practices such as water, rest, shade, and acclimatization. Ideal learners include all employees who work outdoors or in hot indoor environments.
