Heat illness and cold stress are serious, underrecognized occupational health hazards that can escalate from discomfort to life-threatening emergency in a short time. This program covers both heat-related illness prevention (heat exhaustion, heat stroke) and cold stress hazards (hypothermia, frostbite) with acclimatization schedules, work/rest ratios, environmental monitoring, and emergency response procedures for both extremes.
What's Included:
• Heat illness recognition: heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke symptoms and first response
• Heat acclimatization schedule and work/rest ratio guidance by heat index category
• Cold stress recognition: hypothermia, frostbite, and trench foot signs and response
• Environmental monitoring requirements (WBGT, heat index, wind chill)
• Employee training requirements and emergency response procedures
⚖️ Aligned with OSHA Heat Illness Prevention Campaign guidance & ACGIH thermal stress TLVs
