Are You or Your Employees at Risk? Training Short

Have you heard the story of the frog in the boiling water?

Like the frog that doesn't notice the water slowly heating up until it's too late, workers often ignore the early signs of heat stress. This "situational blindness" can be fatal. This training short prevents that gradual slide into danger. We examine the perfect storm of risks: high air temperature, humidity, radiant heat, and strenuous physical labor.

But the environment is only half the battle. We also discuss the individual factors, like age, medication, and physical fitness, that make some employees more susceptible than others. Whether you are dealing with the chronic heat of a commercial kitchen or the sudden shock of an AC failure in a warehouse, this video teaches you to recognize the hazard, implement an action plan, and acclimate your team safely.
