A new OSHA fact sheet and sticker are intended to raise awareness of heat illness prevention strategies in the workplace.
The illustrated fact sheet encourages employers to provide training on heat-related illnesses to all employees and put in place an emergency plan. It includes tips for both indoor and outdoor workers. It also features six actions to take when a worker experiences symptoms of a heat-related illness, along with what to do if a worker exhibits signs of a medical emergency, such as slurred speech, seizures, abnormal thinking/behavior, or loss of consciousness.
The “Don’t Wait … HYDRATE” sticker – available in English and Spanish – can be given to workers, placed around a workplace or job site, and displayed in break areas. The sticker features the URL for OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention website, where employers and workers can find additional tips, resources, and publications.
