Hot environments such as foundries, manufacturing plants, restaurant kitchens, or outdoor areas in the summer months can overwhelm the body’s ability to deal with heat and in extreme cases, can lead to various health problems. Employers should take measures to protect workers from these risks by reducing heavy exertion tasks, avoiding extremely hot temperatures, and managing high humidity.
This infographic shares the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, tips to prevent heat-related illnesses, and outlines how to respond when someone shows signs of heat exhaustion.
Infographics are designed to be read online, so we encourage you to share them to your online social networks and e-mail. When printing our infographics, please note that they are optimized for 11 by 17 inch paper. We also develop larger posters ideal for printing and display, based on the guidance offered in our infographics.
