Heat Illness Prevention Protecting Workers from the Effects of Heat
Every year, dozens of workers die and thousands more become ill due to heat exposure in the workplace. Hazardous heat exposure can occur indoors or outdoors and during any season, not only during heat waves. Heat exposure may result in serious illness or even death, both of which are preventable. This fact sheet provides information on how to recognize and respond to symptoms of heat illness, the risk factors for heat illness, and methods to mitigate heat hazards in both indoor and outdoor workplaces.
Heat Illness Prevention Consultation and Training
At times, workers may be required to work in hot environments for long periods. When the human body is unable to maintain a normal body temperature, heat-related illnesses can occur and may result in death. This summer is exceptionally scorching hot in the US Virgin Islands! Protect your workers from heat illness with a free consultation and training from VIDOSH.
