Overview

Who Should Take This Course?

Our Heat Illness Prevention for Employees course helps workers learn about heat illness, including heat-related illness recognition, treatment and prevention.

OSHA requires employers to provide a workplace free from known safety hazards, which includes extreme heat. Heat illness prevention training should be included as part of a workplace Heat Illness Prevention Program and should be taken by employees before they begin to work in the heat. Refresher training should be provided as needed or annually before the seasonal temperatures rise.

We also offer a Heat Illness Prevention – Supervisors course which includes the training in this course, plus an extra module regarding Supervisor Responsibilities. For information on OSHA Safety training requirements or the Safety training courses we offer, visit our OSHA Safety Training page.
