Description

Our course herein tackles the serious issues of heat illness and heat stress and how to combat them, with a special emphasis on hydration. With annual temperatures on the rise, incidents of heat illness have become increasingly prevalent. Each year, 200 people die in California from heat stress. Again, that is just California.

This course looks at how heat truly affects the body. It will take students through the necessary steps to avoid one of the deadlier hazards in the workplace. It teaches students the importance of remaining hydrated while working in the field, especially outside on hot days.

This course is intended to provide safety and health training in compliance with Federal OSHA and State OSHA training requirements such as CalOSHA. If you have questions, you may ask our instructors, and they will respond to you within a short period of time, as outlined by OSHA standards.

The training will cover all of the required elements outlined in Federal and State OSHA standards to ensure that your training meets or exceed the minimum required training. If your training has a time requirement, the content of the training has been designed to meet that requirement.

The training is developed by our in-house, real trainers with twenty years of experience working in the field and with real crews, and who are trusted by public agencies throughout California.

There are no prerequisites required for this course. The course will walk you through all of the elements required to be successful and complete any questions, quizzes, or testing that may be required.
