Heat stress is a serious threat to workers. It occurs when the body is unable to get rid of excess heat, which causes the heart rate and core body temperature to increase, often leading to heat-related illness. The tools in the Heat Stress Toolkit will help you understand the heat conditions in your workplace, assess the risk of heat stress, and take action to protect yourself or your workers.

The toolkit includes:

  • Guides
  • Calculator tools
  • Videos
  • Infographics
  • And more

You can access the free toolkit here.

CROSH is proud to have partnered with OHCOW to develop the Heat Stress Toolkit.
