Heat Stress: Staying Healthy, Working Safely

After a long, hot day on the line, barbeque wings and a cold one would surely hit the spot. According to the training video "Heat Stress: Staying Healthy, Working Safely," however, alcohol and caffeine both dehydrate the body-especially as it's already perspired and in need of replenishing. Best wait on the brew.

Designed for workers who operate in excessive heat conditions, this video illustrates the potential hazards of heat stress-which can be fueled by dehydration-and how best to prevent them. These hazards include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and are depicted in a series of incident reenactments.

You can prevent heat exhaustion with the tips and safety precautions presented in this online training video. Encourage your workers exposed to high temperature environments to practice safe and healthy work habits.
