The course helps employees understand the need to guard against heat-related illnesses and what steps they can take to protect themselves in their work environments. Areas covered in the program include how the body reacts to heat, the role of fluids and minerals, preventing heat-related illnesses, heat rash, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, recognizing symptoms, first aid, acclimatization, and more. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites.
