What is Heat Stress Training?
Heat Stress Training is an online safety course designed to help workers recognize the hazards of working in hot environments and learn how to protect themselves against heat-related illness. The course covers the causes and types of heat illness, how the body responds to heat, effective prevention strategies, and general first aid guidelines for responding to heat emergencies.
Heat Stress is important for any worker who works outdoors, in hot indoor environments, or in any workplace where high temperatures, high humidity, or physical exertion can create a risk of heat illness. Upon successful completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion as proof of training.
