Construction Tool Box Safety Talks are an easy way for foremen and supervisors to supplement OSHA training efforts of their company or organization and keep safety front and center in their workers' minds. Each month a new topic will be introduced for your use. Each topic is designed to heighten employee awareness of workplace hazards and OSHA regulations.
This month's topic: Heat Related Illnesses
Below is OSHA's webpage on heat-related illnesses and a link to the smartphone application. This allows for easy calculation of the heat index along with corresponding considerations for protection and treating exposure. Both are available in Spanish by clicking on the "Spanish" link in the upper right hand corner of the page.
