Heat Illness Prevention Seminars- May thru June 2007

This seminar is provided by the Cal/OSHA Consultation Service and State Compensation Insurance Fund and is designed to inform California employers and their supervisors about Heat Illness Prevention. Learn how heat illness prevention applies to employees and how you can meet the Cal/OSHA standard by updating and implementing your Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) to reflect the new requirements. The workshop will include a presentation on Heat Illness Prevention and the importance of having an effective IIPP. By the end of the 1 hour seminar, you will:

-Understand California’s Heat Illness Prevention regulation, and how you can comply.
-Learn what you must do to protect your employees.
-Update your IIPP with the Heat Illness Prevention requirements:
-Identify and evaluate the “hazard" (e.g. heat exposure and other risk factors).
-Provide a “control” for the hazard (e.g. water, shade, and rest breaks).
-Implement a emergency action response plan (including emergency medical services).
-Train your employees to recognize heat illness (e.g. prevention and remedy).
