Many workplaces have a high potential for inducing heat stress. Service sector workplaces, such as industrial laundry facilities, bakeries, canneries and commercial kitchens, all run the risk for heat stress-related disorders and illnesses.
It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stress as early as possible in order to prevent the possibility of heat-related illness, disability, or possibly even death. This course will explain what heat stress is, how to recognize and treat heat-related illnesses, and describe how to create a heat stress control plan.
