Date: Thursday June 27, 2024 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is an estimated 702 deaths, 67, 512 ER visits and 9,235 individuals hospital per year due to environmental heat exposure. In addition, there were 436 worker deaths since 2011 according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. To reduce the numbers of deaths and injuries due to heat related issues, OSHA in 2022, created an emphasis program to help employers better protect their employees.
This webinar will examine the Top 5 Steps of OSHA’s Heat Illness Emphasis Program, analyze factors that can affect a worker’s ability to cope with heat and discuss potential controls to reduce the number of workplace injuries and deaths caused by environmental heat exposures.

Workers’ Compensation Professional (WCP®)
“My basic belief concerning safety management is that it is always a work in-progress. It is one thing to write and implement a safety program, but a company needs to review and update their program regularly to keep it relevant to the workplace. Too often we see a good program that becomes stagnant and no longer useful.”
Stephen has over 36 years of safety experience working in a variety of industries. His experience in the papermaking, medical sterilization and construction industries gives him a unique perspective of the safety needs in manufacturing facilities and in the field. He encourages companies to find innovative safety solutions and not just settle for a “quick fix.” He facilitates employers tapping into their most valuable asset, their employees, for ideas and solutions that may not be available anywhere else.
Stephen has earned his Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Occupational Health and Safety Technologist (OHST) and Workers’ Compensation Professional (WCP®) designations. He is a member of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and American Society of Safety Professionals and is an authorized training instructor through the OSHA Training Institute in Manchester, NH. In addition to his experience as a safety professional, he has formal training in industrial hygiene practices and indoor air quality testing.
