Any time workers get hot and sweaty, they're feeling "heat stress". The hotter they get, the more likely heat stress is to affect their health. And if employees get overheated enough to develop heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke, the effect on them can be serious, even fatal.
MARCOM's "Heat Stress" training products discuss the hazards of getting overheated, how employees can avoid heat-related illnesses and what they should do if a coworker suffers from heat stress.
All of the products... original DVDs and full-length online courses as well as the "Micro-Learning" and "Adaptive Learning" courses... discuss topics that are integral to employees' understanding of these issues.
Topics covered in these products include:
- Heat and the body's cooling system.
