It’s that time of year again - it's getting hot outside, and you may be thinking about heat stress in your workplace. Heat stress affects many workplaces year-round, impacting both outdoor workers and those exposed to heat from processes and equipment. This presentation explains what heat stress is, why it matters, and how it affects us at work. We'll cover current and upcoming legislation, methods for assessing and monitoring heat stress, and research on physiological technology like heart rate monitors and body temperature sensors. Attendees will learn about engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment to manage heat stress effectively. Join WSPS Specialized Consultant (Occupational Hygiene), Kelly Fernandes, who will share best practices for recognizing, assessing, and controlling heat stress within the workplace.
