How to Create an OSHA-Compliant Heat Illness Prevention Plan [Step-by-Step]

Stop guessing. Follow this 5-step process to build a Written Program that passes inspection.

Step 1: Assign Responsibility

Name a specific Heat Safety Coordinator. If it is "everyone's job", it is no one's job.

Step 2: Map Your Water & Shade

Draw a site map. Where is the water? Where is the shade? Does it need to move as the sun moves?

Step 3: Define Emergency Protocols

Write down exactly what happens if someone collapses. Who calls 911? Who guides the ambulance?

Step 4: Training Log

Use HeatShield PRO to digitally log every training session.
