- Every year, huge numbers of people fall ill while working or performing other activities in hot environments. In the U.S. alone, hundreds die annually from heat-related illnesses.
Almost everyone can be exposed to heat on jobs, outdoors or in hot indoor environments. Operations involving high air temperatures, radiant heat sources, high humidity, direct physical contact with hot objects, or strenuous physical activities have a high potential for causing heat-related illness.
Occupational exposures in the workplace are common, but exposures off-the-job far outnumber workplace incidents.
In addition, heart attacks, respiratory failure, fainting, falling and many other major injuries and illnesses can be traced to hot environment exposures.
Preventing illnesses, injuries and deaths from activities in hot environments requires awareness of the environmental factors - but more important - it requires that people become aware of the physical
clues their bodies provide when they are in danger of overexertion in a hot environment.
This short video describes 7 ways to prevent heat exhaustion, heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses, injuries and deaths.
Understand and apply these 7 guidelines, and share them with your employers, employees, co-workers and family members. You may just save someone's life.

Yeah, but what about the humidity? I'm so damn tired of staying indoors in front of the A/C.
Heat is one thing, but the humidity is another. Makes it even harder to breathe.

Daniel Hankes thanks
Good ideas to stay safe in this hot weather.
Thank you 😊
Step 6 is wrong btw.. sudden change from hot to cold temperatures can cause dizziness and unconsciousness
I'd recommend everyone to find the comfort of a running fan, when they can. It isn't that cold all the sudden.
Long sleeves in the hot humid weather seems like a bad idea
just want to watch this since it's summer
Good idea for hot weather 😎

very useful video, thank you so much
buy SPACE BLANKETS for £1 each
duct tape them to any and all windows
this will reflect the harsh sunlight back out
thus cooling the house
you could also put them up in the loft/attic
but dont go up there in a heat wave as it will be roasting hot
other symptoms are nose bleeds
if you have high blood pressure the heat makes it worse
get some blood pressure pills
Would i be able to use this video in a training module for my company?
