Heat Stress Prevention and Safety
Heat Stress Prevention and Safety
Heat Stress Prevention and Safety is an OSHA-aligned training course designed to teach workers, supervisors, and safety personnel how to recognize, prevent, and respond to heat-related illnesses in both indoor and outdoor work environments. High temperatures, humidity, physical exertion, and inadequate hydration can quickly create life-threatening conditions for workers — especially in construction, telecom, agriculture, landscaping, manufacturing, and warehouse operations.
This course provides practical strategies to minimize risk, including hydration guidelines, work/rest cycles, acclimatization, PPE selection, engineering controls, and emergency response procedures. Participants will learn how to identify early symptoms, understand risk factors, prevent heat illnesses, and take life-saving action in heat emergencies such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
Ideal for field workers and supervisors, this course helps companies stay compliant and protect their crews during hot-weather operations.
