OSHA has long recognized the potentially fatal hazard of working in excessive heat and you are probably aware of OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention Campaign. This is an educational program designed to address the hazards of working in hot environments and requires that employers develop a written plan incorporating specific steps that must be taken for employee safety in those conditions. Heat conditions can change rapidly and management commitment to adjusting heat stress controls is critical to prevent heat illness.
We now have a program template that can be customized to address your specific working conditions and the steps you will take to prevent heat-related illnesses. An individual at the worksite should be responsible for monitoring conditions and implementing the employer's heat plan throughout the workday. A recording is also available to provide basic heat stress education for both employers and employees.
The Heat Stress / Illness Prevention written program is available HERE. Please note, you must log into the website with your member credentials to access this content. For help accessing your account, please contact Josh Trout at [email protected] or (800) 810-4268.
