6 THINK INDOORS, TOO Heat illness can occur anywhere. Based on where you do business, your organization may be on the hook for indoor as well as outdoor conditions. California, for instance, is finalizing a heat illness prevention rule that would apply to indoor work areas where temperatures exceed 82 °F. Many of the same precautions as outdoor environments apply to indoor settings. Remember that architectural aspects, such as reflective shields and insulation, can impact a building’s internal temperature. 7 CREATE A HEAT ILLNESS PREVENTION TEAM Designate people within your organization as heat safety leaders. Members of the team should be responsible for reporting, monitoring conditions, managing response protocols, implementing controls at each risk level and ensuring the availability of supplies and equipment. 8 EDUCATE YOUR EMPLOYEES Employees should be trained to recognize symptoms of heat-related illnesses, what to do when symptoms are observed, and on site-specific risks and controls. In addition to their personal heat illness prevention choices, such as water intake and clothing, members of your workforce also need to be aware of their individual risk factors, including age, medications, obesity, diet, smoking habits and medical conditions.
