The OSHA Heat Stress Awareness and Prevention Training course is an online program aligned with OSHA's heat illness prevention campaign, the NIOSH criteria document for occupational exposure to heat and hot environments, and the ACGIH Threshold Limit Values for heat stress. Enrollees receive SCORM learning modules, a downloadable participant handbook, acclimatization scheduling worksheets, heat-index action charts, hydration logs, and sample heat illness prevention plan (HIPP) templates for outdoor and indoor work.

  • Interactive SCORM modules covering heat physiology, risk factors, acclimatization, hydration, rest-shade-water protocols, environmental monitoring, and emergency response.
  • Heat-index and WBGT action-chart job aid with work/rest schedules for light, moderate, heavy, and very heavy workloads.
  • Buddy-system checklist for recognizing early symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
  • Editable heat illness prevention plan (HIPP) template with roles, triggers, and escalation steps.
  • Knowledge checks, final assessment, and a printable certificate of completion on passing.
    • Participants receive a heat illness prevention plan template, a WBGT and heat-index decision chart, hydration and acclimatization schedules, a supervisor daily heat briefing checklist, and printable toolbox-talk flyers in English and Spanish. Electronic copies of every worksheet are emailed after the session.

    Digital resources include a heat illness response pocket card for supervisors, a pictorial first-aid flowchart for use on toolbox-talk walls, and a spreadsheet-based WBGT logging template that produces a daily acclimatization dashboard. A Spanish-language version of the heat illness prevention plan template is available at no additional charge, along with printable signs for hydration and rest-break areas. Participants also receive a bibliography of NIOSH, CDC, and CA/Fed OSHA heat illness references for continuing education.

    What You’ll Learn?

    This OSHA Heat Stress Awareness and Prevention course prepares outdoor and indoor workers, supervisors, and EHS staff to recognize, prevent, and respond to heat-related illnesses under the OSHA General Duty Clause and the National Emphasis Program on Outdoor and Indoor Heat-Related Hazards. Participants learn the physiology of thermoregulation, heat balance, core versus skin temperature, and how dehydration, age, medications, acclimatization, and personal protective equipment affect an individual worker heat tolerance. The course differentiates heat rash, heat cramps, heat syncope, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, and walks through the specific first-aid response for each, including when to activate EMS, how to cool a collapsed worker rapidly with cold water immersion or wet towels with fans, and how to avoid fatal delays. Learners study NIOSH criteria for recommended heat stress thresholds using WBGT, measure WBGT with wet bulb globe thermometers, and interpret ACGIH TLV tables for work and rest schedules. The program emphasizes acclimatization protocols such as the NIOSH 20 percent rule for new or returning workers, hydration scheduling of roughly one cup every 15 to 20 minutes, access to shade, buddy checks, rest breaks, and engineering controls including ventilation, cooling fans, cooling vests, and reflective barriers. Participants practice writing a site-specific heat illness prevention plan, conducting daily heat briefings, and integrating weather forecasts and heat index triggers into job planning.
