Heat Stress in Construction Environments DVD Program on USB (#VCST434UET)

Our bodies are strong, flexible and capable of performing a variety of demanding tasks... but heat stress can interfere with its natural processes. When this happens, the results can be serious, even fatal. But they don’t have to be.

MARCOM's course on "Heat Stress in Construction Environments" discusses how the body’s cooling system operates and responds to heat, types of heat-related illnesses and how to treat them, and how to prepare to work in hot construction environments safely. It also provides practical guidance on how to assist coworkers suffering from heat-related illnesses.

Topics covered in this course include:

• How heat affects the body’s “cooling system”
• Types of heat-related illnesses and their symptoms
• Treating heat-related illnesses
• How to prepare for working in hot environments
• …and more.
