Training Objectives

Analyze environmental factors (temperature, humidity, radiation) that escalate heat stress risks
Assess individual susceptibility factors including age, medication, and medical history
Differentiate between short-term acute exposure (e.g., welding) and chronic high-heat environments
Identify "hidden" overheating hazards such as equipment failure or unventilated confined spaces
Apply preventative measures including hydration, proper clothing, and acclimatization protocols

Course Overview

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.

No Worries. Here’s Some Helpful Info.

What is the main cause of heat-related illness?


Heat-related illness results from the body's core temperature rising beyond its ability to regulate itself, often due to strenuous work in high air temperatures and humid conditions.


What is an example of an easily controllable factor influencing heat stress?


Factors that are easily controlled include ensuring workers are properly hydrated, choosing appropriate work clothing, and confirming that workers have acclimated to the hot or humid conditions.


What are some examples of common work sites for heat stress danger?


Common sites for significant heat stress danger include warehouses, roofs, roadways, commercial kitchens, and factories.


What is the difference between short-term exposure and working in hot conditions?


Short-term exposure refers to brief contact with high-temperature materials or equipment (e.g., while welding), whereas working in hot conditions refers to a constant environment, such as in confined spaces or outdoors.


What are the consequences of ignoring heat exposure risks?


The consequences are severe, ranging from simple illness and increased risk of accidents to serious injury and even death.
