Heat Stress Prevention Safety Talk

Often overlooked and not considered a significant hazard, heat stress can cause significant stress to the body’s cooling system resulting in serious harm and even death.  The risk of suffering a heat related illness increases dramatically during work operations that include heavy labour in hot, humid environments.

With the summer months and hot, humid weather quickly approaching, it’s time that we dust off our heat stress prevention programs and get ready to protect our workers.

This free team safety talk will help you or your supervisors deliver some basic, but extremely important information to your workers to help them recognize the symptoms of heat stress, how the symptoms should be treated and more importantly, what steps they can take to prevent heat stress in the first place.
