Product Information

Heat stress happens when a worker gets too hot from exposure to heat from physical activity, environmental factors, and their clothing. This makes construction workers very at risk. Heat can cause workers to not think clearly, feel dizzy, have sweaty hands, react slowly, feel tired, and have muscle cramps. But you can avoid heat stress by preventing it.


This training is designed to help learners recognize, avoid, and prevent heat-related hazards encountered by construction workers in both indoor and outdoor settings, as well as strategies for an effective emergency response.


After completing this training, learners will be able to:
  • Identify environments and tasks with a high risk of heat illness and injury
  • Recognize common signs and symptoms related to heat illness
  • Explain how to respond to heat-related emergencies
  • Describe heat stress prevention controls
