Heat-related illness prevention: New resources from OSHA
OSHA has introduced a wallet card, brochure, and checklist to enhance worker safety in high temperatures.
The wallet card lists signs of a heat emergency and provides immediate response guidance, such as calling 911 and cooling the person with water or ice.
The brochure contains information on heat illness risk factors, symptoms, prevention program topics, and first aid procedures.
The checklist helps employers identify heat hazards, assess preparedness, and develop effective heat-related illness prevention plans to improve workplace safety.
