There have been significant changes to OSHA heat regulations in the past year, which include new requirements for employee safety training. OSHA now requires that employees and supervisors must be given heat stress training for environments with indoor and outdoor heat hazards. Training must cover areas like heat stress, heat-related injuries and illnesses, and heat safety.

TrainingToday’s Working in Hot Conditions course helps to satisfy these requirements by identifying the risk factors that cause heat-related illnesses and providing steps to reduce the risk of injury. The course covers both outdoor and indoor workers, giving them the tools they need to avoid common heat hazards. TrainingToday’s content library is regularly updated by compliance experts, so this course will continue to reflect any additional changes made to OSHA’s heat safety regulations.
