The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began its annual national outreach initiative to educate workers and employers about the hazards of heat illness.
As part of the campaign, OSHA developed educational materials on heat illness in English and Spanish, as well as resources for conducting training in the workplace. A web page also offers information on how to prevent heat illness and what to do in an emergency.
In addition, OSHA is offering an app for mobile devices that enables workers and supervisors to monitor the heat index at their work sites.
