Heat-related injuries are a significant threat to construction workers. One in three job-related heat exposure deaths in the U.S. occur in the construction industry.

You’ll learn about pre‐existing factors that can increase the risk of HRIs, how to recognize the major symptoms, and what steps to take to resolve the situation. You'll also learn your employer’s responsibilities regarding HRI Action Plans and Emergency Action Plans.
