This Heat Illness Prevention for Employees course will focus on defining, recognizing, preventing, and treating heat stress, as well as outlining a supervisor's responsibilities.
This course has been approved for 1 Contact Hour (0.1 CEUs) of REHS Continuing Education Credits (Public Health Accreditation #044).
Employers must train all employees, both supervisory and non-supervisory, on heat illness recognition and prevention, including training on their own employer-specific policies and procedures. Training must be provided before the beginning of work that involves the risk of heat illness.
The training should be provided when an employee is hired and with refresher training as needed, typically each year. Training provided close to the hot season is more effective than training provided during colder seasons without follow-up refresher training.
Employers must ensure their work procedures are consistent with the information in the training provided to employees.
We also offer an online Heat Illness Prevention Training for Supervisors course. The Supervisor course includes the same training content as the Employee course, with an additional section addressing “Supervisor Responsibilities.”

This training meets the training requirements for Fed-OSHA under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act of 1970, as well as State OSHA requirements such as California Title 8, CCR Section 3395(h).
This training should be followed up with company specific training on the Employer’s Heat Illness Prevention Plan, including policies and procedures on preventing and responding to heat illnesses and injuries.
Finally, workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job. Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, students should receive site-specific training supplied by their employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.
The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
