Preventing Heat Stress and Cold Stress
This online engineering PDH course explains the potential for heat stress and cold stress that may appear in the workplace and how to better prepare everyone involved in identifying and avoiding those hazards. Educating employees and managers on these methods is a key concept gained from this course. This course is intended to be consistent with all existing OSHA standards. Through the completion of this course, you determine what actions are necessary to reduce the risk of employee exposure to heat and cold stress.
Heat stress and cold can pose a special threat to workers in a wide range of geographic areas. Many manufacturing workers must deal with hot and cold temperatures in their factories throughout the year. Outdoor workers face the threat of cramps, exhaustion, heat stroke and worse every summer. During the winter months, these workers must prepare for cold temperatures. This course explains what thermal stress can do to working people and discusses ways to avoid the many health problems it can cause.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for all field engineers as well as construction and site personnel interested in learning about how to prevent heat stress and cold stress.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
