Heat Stress – Protecting Our Workers

Date: Thursday March 27, 2025 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

According to a World Economic Forum August 2024 report more than 2.4 billion workers are at risk for excessive heat at work. This number represents more than 70% of all the workers in the world. While people may disagree as to the causes of the excessive heat, we can all agree that more can be done to protect this valuable resource. This webinar will review the potential effects of heat stress, OSHA’s response to the increasing number of workplace injuries and fatalities caused by heat, and common-sense steps employers can take to reduce heat stress in the workplace.

“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.
