OSHA Heat Initiative Webinar Series: Preventing Heat Illness at Work

OSHA's Heat Illness Prevention campaign, launched in 2011, educates employers and workers on the dangers of working in the heat. Through training sessions, outreach events, informational sessions, publications, social media messaging and media appearances, millions of workers and employers have learned how to protect workers from heat. Our safety message comes down to three key words: Water. Rest. Shade.

OSHA will be hosting a free, three-part webinar series May 10, 17 and 24 to address heat illness in the workplace. 

Employees exposed to extreme heat and humid working conditions are at risk - both indoors and outdoors. These training sessions offer critical guidance about how to identify heat stress, how it affects the human body, and how to prevent it on the job. Click here to download the event flyer.
