COVID-19 has added new challenges to Heat illness. This training will help the Field Managers and Trades understand the complications with Shade, Social Distancing, Water and sanitizing.
California employers are required to take these four steps to prevent heat illness:
- Training - Train all employees and supervisors about heat illness prevention.
- Water - Provide enough fresh water so that each employee can drink at least 1 quart per hour, or four 8-ounce glasses, of water per hour, and encourage them to do so.
- Shade - Provide access to shade and encourage employees to take a cool-down rest in the shade for at least 5 minutes. They should not wait until they feel sick to cool down.
- Planning - Develop and implement written procedures for complying with the Cal/OSHA Heat Illness Prevention Standard.
Certificates will be provided for all who attend.
