The answer should always be NEVER!<br /><br />You could never have enough training on over exposure to the sun when working outdoors. This topic is a focal point for OSHA and it should be for you as well.<br /><br />Feel free to download our safety talk handout on Heat Illness Prevention by clicking on the image here. <br /><br />Remember to brief your workers before exposing them to outdoor work on the importance of taking cool-down preventative rest breaks, staying hydrated, and accessing shade. <br /><br />Your workers should also know how to recognize the symptoms of the different types of heat illnesses and know what to do in the event of an emergency.<br /><br />One last thing, your employer is required to have a Heat Stress Prevention written program developed and implemented and all affected employees must read it and have access to it.<br /><br />Contact us today to get your next class schedule and to help develop your safety written program!<br /><br />949.540.6800<br />info@ehsinc.org<br /><a href="https://www.ehsinc.org/quote-form/" target="_blank">Contact Us Page</a></span>ehsInchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12959397916123048069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280462967345005219.post-29663750015082138192022-05-12T08:40:00.004-07:002022-05-12T10:56:36.033-07:00Board Chair Marjorie Del Toro Re-Elected By The California Underground Safety Board<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pr.com/press-release/861191" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglbf_fjbViPqqpAT1WwIBKN7sHNLrmo3iNKX6hkBpFpA0TufjW7PjkDnJiMRZuFSgUs7BRjR4Gkb9RE_uiK5S1FIMQzz07mc-dps1SfrVbbF63pgeyyBwhomY0QmLCvjMORttPu5hsyG5-V5jQiX6-X7Qx_PDe-rG6YZliFvv9LY_kfs8bboBiBw/s16000/ehsInc-Marjorie-Del-Toro-Re-Elected-CA-Underground-Safety-Board-Spotlight-600PX.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Irvine, CA, May 12, 2022 - </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">We are pleased to announce on May 09, 2022, Marjorie Del Toro, CEO of ehs International, Inc.
