Thermal Stress (Heat/Cold) Awareness
Many workplace operations expose employees to environmental conditions that can place stress on the body, particularly in hot and cold environments. Heat-related illnesses account for over 33,000 reported workplace injuries each year. Cold stress incidents, though less frequent, still present serious risks when not properly understood. Bonneville Safety offers separate “Heat Stress Awareness” and “Cold Stress Awareness” training to address these conditions.
