Safety professionals, managers and business owners should be aware of potential heat hazards in their workplaces and keep workers safe. An effective workplace heat safety program should include a strong\u00a0focus upon employee training and monitoring of conditions to identify and address potential hazards.<\/p>\n<p>OSHA makes active efforts to target heat safety\u00a0in the workplace through\u00a0education, inspection\u00a0and enforcement,\u00a0including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/SLTC\/heatillness\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>program aimed at educating and protecting outdoor workers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Location isn&#8217;t always a good way to guess where heat safety is a challenge. While this recent OSHA citation for <a href=\"https:\/\/ohsonline.com\/articles\/2015\/09\/17\/steel-company-cited-for-heatrelated-illness.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>not having a heat safety program in Houston, Texas<\/strong><\/a> might not seem surprising, OSHA has\u00a0also levied recent fines against companies beyond the Sun Belt states, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/newsrelease\/reg7-20150826.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>moving company<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/pls\/oshaweb\/owadisp.show_document?p_table=NEWS_RELEASES&amp;p_id=27126\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>automotive manufacturing plant<\/strong><\/a> in\u00a0Nebraska and a <a href=\"http:\/\/ehstoday.com\/health\/worker-hospitalized-heat-related-illness-employer-cited-osha\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>construction company in Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0In these cases, penalties sought by\u00a0OSHA ranged from $3,700 to $13,800 &#8211; all of which could have been avoided with an effective heat safety program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRAINING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/SLTC\/heatstress\/heat_illnesses.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>four kinds of heat illness<\/strong><\/a>: heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. All\u00a0result from the\u00a0human body reacting to heat. Increased physical activity increases the potential for heat illness, with heat stroke being the most critical. It is crucial to know the signs of heat illness and how to respond \u2013 as well as respond quickly.<\/p>\n<p>First Aid courses offered by the American Red Cross teach how to recognize signs of heat illness as well as how to respond. Over a quarter of Filters Fast employees have certifications in both CPR and First Aid, giving them the knowledge to keep safe, watch out for others \u2013 both on and off the job, and respond to signs of heat-related emergencies. These courses are not difficult, take just a few hours\u00a0and are relatively affordable, so we strongly recommend signing up for one.<\/p>\n<p>You can sign up for a class with your local Red Cross chapter: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/find-your-local-chapter\"><u>http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/find-your-local-chapter<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HEAT MONITORING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As OSHA has no specific standards regarding heat safety, employers are obligated to follow\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/pls\/oshaweb\/owadisp.show_document?p_table=OSHACT&amp;p_id=3359\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>OSHA\u00a0\u201cGeneral Duty Clause\u201d<\/strong><\/a>, which obligates employers to act to protect workers from all known hazards, which includes heat exposure:<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Each employer &#8230; shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even without\u00a0specific OSHA\u00a0regulations\u00a0regarding heat safety,\u00a0employers are always responsible for identifying and responding to heat hazards. This includes empowering employees to act, as well as monitoring working conditions to identify potential heat hazards.<\/p>\n<p>Heat should take into account the role played by humidity, not just air temperature alone. The Heat Index is a more accurate measure of the level of stress placed upon the body than just air temperatures and should be watched closely.
