Hot Weather
Employees who work in outdoor places of employment or on job tasks in other areas at those times when the environmental risk factors for heat illness are present, are at risk for developing heat illnesses if they do not protect themselves appropriately. The objective of this program is employee awareness regarding heat illness symptoms, ways to prevent illness, and what to do if symptoms occur.
POLICY
It is the policy of Replace with Company Name that any employee participating in job tasks when environmental risk factors for heat illness are present will comply with the procedures in this document. Heat prevention procedures shall be in writing and made available to employees.
PURPOSE
To ensure that all employees of Replace with Company Name are protected from heat illness while working on job tasks where environmental risk factors for heat illness are present and to establish the minimum requirements for working in this environment.
DEFINITIONS
