Summer is here: Protect workers from heat dangers
United States | Publication | June 2022

- Take frequent breaks in the shade to cool down
- Develop an emergency plan to respond quickly when one shows signs of heat-related illness
- Provide training on the hazards of heat exposure and prevention of heat illness.
- Build up a tolerance for working in the heat
