About heat
related illnesses
Every year in the U.S. there are at least 3,000 heat-related illnesses
and occupational injuries involving days lost from work. Emergency responders
who work in protective clothing are especially vulnerable to heat injuries.
It is important for personnel to learn about the risks of working in hot
environments and how to prevent heat injuries.

for fire fighters, hazmat team members, bomb squads, military personnel
who work in hot climates, those who work in protective clothing ensembles,
and those who may work in hot weather or under hot conditions during the
course of their assigned duties.
The program defines hot environments and lists the occupations where workers may be at risk. It explains how heat is transferred, how it builds up in the human body, and what conditions exacerbate heat buildup. The symptoms of dehydration, heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are portrayed.
