Extreme heat can affect concentration, physical performance, judgment, and overall worker well-being. Without suitable planning, hydration, rest arrangements, and early recognition, heat exposure may lead to illness, medical emergencies, reduced productivity, and increased workplace safety risks.
The Heat Stress Awareness Training course covers heatwaves, extreme heat, the effects of heat stress on the body, illness recognition, emergency response, legal duties, workplace controls, worker protection, preparedness, resilience, and future heat-related risks.
Learners will strengthen their ability to recognize heat hazards, identify warning signs, respond appropriately, and support effective workplace protection measures. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
