Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
Heat stress is a serious and increasingly common workplace hazard that affects employees across all industries—both indoors and outdoors. As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat-related illnesses, injuries, and reduced performance. This webinar provides a practical overview of heat stress, why it matters, and how employers and employees can work together to recognize hazards, reduce risk, and respond effectively when heat-related conditions occur.
Participants will learn to identify key heat stress risk factors, understand the importance of acclimatization, recognize early warning signs and symptoms ranging from mild heat rash to life threatening heat stroke, and apply proven prevention strategies such as hydration, rest, shade, and work planning. The session also covers basic response actions and best practices that can be adapted to any general industry work environment. Whether your workforce operates outdoors, in hot indoor settings, or around heat generating equipment, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge needed to help keep workers safe when the heat is on.
