Overview

Who Should Take This Course?

This Heat Illness Prevention for Supervisors training will help supervisors recognize, treat and prevent heat illnesses and learn about heat-related supervisor responsibilities.

OSHA requires employers to provide a workplace free from known safety hazards. Employees and supervisors who work in extreme heat must be trained regarding heat illnesses and prevention prior to working in those conditions. This course should be used as part of a Heat Illness Prevention Program in the workplace. Refresher training should be provided as needed or annually before the seasonal temperatures rise.

We also offer a Heat Illness Prevention – Employees course, which excludes the Supervisor Responsibilities portion of this class. For OSHA Safety training requirements or to view our other Safety training courses, visit our OSHA Safety Training page.
